The Flame Will Always Burn

by Fiza Pathan

 

I cannot sleep and my eyes are wet with hidden tears

I cannot keep awake as the flame still burns;

They call me insane as no one knows what’s unreal

And I know that I’m never going to get over it

The flame will always burn.

 

Losing myself piece by piece is tough

But losing into pieces is another question;

It’s my blood being drawn out from this world and its vague reality

But I know that the flame will burn and it will always burn

Burn down my reality, into a world of lost love.

 

Lost love, why do you torment me!

I try to forget you, but my delusion conquers your actual heart of stone;

Your flame was not ignited

And mine, will not ever get extinguished

The flame will always burn.

 

Burn into my chest and open up the wound of obsession,

That led one man to the cross, and the other hanging on a tree;

Burning away the futures hopeless riddle

Of life, of love and of loneliness

The flame will always burn.

 

The flame now chokes me as I cry,

Making me cough as I cry out your name;

They say you are an illusion and that with a bit of poetry

Your whistle will not bring you back to me

But how will I ever get over, lost love.

 

Broken heart

Stolen heart

Lost love

And an undying flame.
