A Love That Burns

By Munkey



Love is a fire that burns from within
And that fire will destroy you unless you give in
It will slowly consume your mind
Make you forget the knowlegde that you find
It can keep you from your sleep
Make you fall upon for knees and weep
The love that burns will leave you trembling and weak
Make you humble without words to speak
Though loves tests and trials
Would you walk a thousand miles
All that it can happen to you
All you want is a love that is true
For you may have everything to lose
To stand in those flames of love you will always choose
The fire will eat at you soul
Make you feel as if you aren't whole
Until you find the love of another
Now all I ask is to find a love that burns
