In a dark cold winter's night sky ,

the stars shine like diamonds ,

but in the corner of my eye,

I notice one as it fiery descends.

I travelled miles and miles ,

to see where it now lay ,

to find it's burning light ,

I'll let all my fears decay.

After weeks and weeks of searching,

I found him bathing on the grass ,

the significance of my discovery,

In my mind I still failed to grasp.

He looked at me,

with a bright white light behind his eyes ,

and in an instant i saw my souls counterpoint ,

and my untimely demise.

He took my hand,

and led me to the river ,

the moon light illuminating

his face with a glimmer.

I stood mesmerised and still,

unable to leave ,

when his lips touched mine,

I could hardly breathe.

In the eternity of that kiss ,

I saw our life together ,

when we broke lips again

I knew i wouldn't see it , not ever.

He turned away ,

telling me to go ,

I begged him to take me with him ;

he softly whispered no.

He turned back to face me,

with his hand he touched my face,

his skin burning like fire ,

as I foresaw the pain in my heart's true desire.

He slowly left me ,

the smell of sulphur in the air,

I'm now damned for eternity,

but I just don't care.

When I miss him,

I sit and stare at the sun,

I think about that single kiss ;

and remember what it feels like to burn.
