Heart...
dear sweet heart
together we have been through so much
always trying again
to feel the flame of love's touch

the pretty flame always draws us in
this time hoping to not feel burn, only heat
keep holding on for another day
don't put your head down in shame and defeat

you must be so damn tired of me
asking you to hold on for yet another day
when all i do is make the same mistakes
even after you try to show me the way

Soul...
You cry out to the heavens above
No not this again, this thing called love
But this time it's different, I promise you
This time won't end in tears of blue

So many times in the past
You've been shredded, love never to last
Screaming to me to stop the pain
Trying to hide from the pounding rain

I know you want to crumble in to two
But don't give up yet...this I beg of you
Put your faith in me once more
This time to the heavens my love will soar

Heart and Soul...
Finally you both are together
Do not abandon me now, I need you with me
This time it won't be the same
But if I do end up in bittersweet pain again
I did it all for love's flame


"but i see your true colors,
shining through...
i see your true colors
and that's why i love you"

Ah, yes, Amy, "for love's flame" - we are all helpless to this powerful desire.  This is well written, the flow, rhyme and sentiment is excellent!~

Take care,
Melissa~
