Fire Within

There is a fire within me
A flame that burns
Only when you are near
One that cannot be extinguished with ease

The drum beats in my chest
The music in my brain
The rush of blood around my body
As I hold you close

Love can make devils of us all
But I'd be willing to indulge the sins
As long as you love me
The way I love you

For mine is a love burning so bright
The shadows flee from my mind
But only when you are near me

As I stroke your soft skin
As I kiss your tender lips
As I whisper in your ear
"I love you"
As I hold you close

The fire burns
The flame flickers
And the drums beat faster
Because if love makes devils of us all
Then I shall march through hell with you
And we shall rise stronger together
