A/N: Something that leapt at me one day and refused to let go

Dedication: For all the people who know exactly what I mean, may solace be granted to the world-weary.

Love’s Spitfire

Give me diamonds, give me pearls, give me anything you want

Give me money, the stars, the world, just do not give me love

For love will fade and leave me

Barren and will chase me

Forbidden and will bid me

Leave me desperate and alone

Give me flowers, give me names, give your hearts desire

Give me peace, give me faith, give everything you admire

And loathe and ridicule and everything you’ve found

But this poor wench begs you, do not give me love

For love is tireless and a fiend

It will choke me till I die

It will give me nothing more

Than all the pain and all lies

It is cold and unforgiving

It is wretched and abound

It will leave me still and breathless

It will burn me to the ground

Give me life and give me death

Give me forevermore

But love will only weaken me

As I lay gasping on the floor

Love will leave me spellbound, entranced and captivated

Leave me trembling on my knees

When I receive this horrid fate

Kiss me and leave me please

For love will come eventual

Begging you for more

And when it does come remember

That all the cold and painful in the world

Cannot compare to love's spitfire
