The Mistress of Word Play

There was a fire raging in my soul,
longing now to touch the sky,
threatening to take control,
and all I could do was cry.

There was a distant song I heard,
that lifted me above the madness,
and in time I came to learn each word,
though it filled my heart with sadness.

Are we so blind we cannot believe,
what lies out in the distance?
Is it just easier to pack and leave,
than to exert some resistance?

For just a moment I did love him,
held on tight and hoped someday,
that true love was not some whim,
but now I see love cannot stay.
