Our love was like the touch of dawn, with amber hue, I was drawn to you're eyes, how welcoming and warm were they. I would never have guessed you'd do me harm.

Our passion had no antidote, or should I say my passion. And when dusk fell upon us, our love began to become unhinged, clouds came and clouded over your eyes. The bright twilight skies extinguished.

The cold of the night came, I couldn't tear down the walls I had before for you built them higher and stronger. By the midnight hour, our fire was dead. Mere ashes smoldered in it's stead.

You left, and if you come back it will not be for me, I will not let it. Now I fear the thing I yearn to touch yet again. Yet I want the very thing I love to burn into ashes.
