my heart is rendered speechless
by the torture, but i'm willing
i kiss the subtle knife that
is scarred from all it's killing

at first the fire was a spark
it took over my fevered mind
it burns its course eternal
consuming any doubt it finds

now the embers ignite quickly
at my ambiguous dreams
i'm calmly sleeping in this
house of mirrors and screams

love powerful beyond all else
pain bows to the lord of emotions
try to kill our love ? go ahead;
use a bucket to empty the ocean

dedicated to ryan, the love of my life.
