Open Fire...

LostLove

--------_________------------
I saw you today
tossing love letters into an open fire
letting our memories burn and twist
in the somber setting
of a silent flame
I know that youre hurting love
I know that what Ive done is wrong
and that tears cant extinguish
this kind of roaring flame
But dont let it be over
dont let our love disappear
too much blood and ink
have been spilled
to just turn it all to smoke
rising out of an open fire
If I meant anything to you
and if our love has to be a memory
please bury it under lock and key
and dont let it spread in the winds
that cut through this spring air
I know that you owe me nothing
especially not my dignity or my respect
but Id like to be remembered my love
even if only in spite
I want my words to have more meaning
than just a column of wind-whipped smoke
and I want our memories to last longer
than a small box of hand-written letters
tossed into the heart
of a roaring open fire
