With your eyes ablaze, a passionate fire
Life itself goes on hold, and time, it stops
Suddenly driven by intense desire
I see you, and sparks fly as the fire pops
I’d ask you to lead me away in the night
Forget all the troubles that thrive in life
If you told me to leave, maybe I might
Adrenaline at the sight of a knife
Cut away the ribbons that bind my pain
Can you make me forget all the bad things?
Tonight, just tonight, I’ll be yours again
My heart is yours, on my necklace it hangs

I’ve forgotten love, I’ve forgotten you
Now do you see what you have led me to?

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
