Doused My Fire

Doused My Fire
 
 
You doused my raging fire that burned inside
You left me drowning in my foolish pride
 
How our once sparkling love used to shine
We lost our way that isn’t hard to define
 
We used to cause a fire in our burning bed
Followed our passion and that’s where it led
 
We used to make love like a house on fire
We completely quenched each other’s desire
 
And now the passionate waters run still
It appears our hearts have had their fill
 
Now were tangled in a spider’s web of lies
Of lost hopes and seemingly endless alibis
 
And now the once raging fire has all but died
Once upon a time for my heart you eagerly vied
 
We no longer quench the thirst of mutual desire
Our house of cards burned down in a flaming fire
 
Our love is like puzzle pieces scattered on the floor
I can’t help myself but to reach out for the door
 
We grew together and then slowly grew apart
I want to embark on a journey of the heart
 
No longer want to live in the dark shadow we cast
Why is it always the bitterness that seems to last
 
I used to bring you bouquets of spring flowers
And now I’m drowning in endless rain showers
 
Resentment like morning glory did nothing but grow
And the mutual unhappiness we came to know
 
They say that blessed love can conquer all
We had to face our inevitable flames of our fall
 
Ashes carried on the wings of a heavenly white dove
We say goodbye to our once caring and passionate love
