Flambeau

I cannot break your heart

I will not break your heart

Your fate is not pain,

Unless I disappoint your expectations.

Any hurts are mine, not yours.

Stay strong

I already love you

I do not abuse love

Love is life

Life is now love

I glory in this

In you.

Please be true

For I will die

A thousand tortured deaths

If not.

You reconnect my life

You resurrect my life

From ashes and dust.

Do not return me there

Oh,

Do not!
