No one knows their heart's desire, 'till it's gone,
a passing fire.
Now you say you still want me,
time has told you what you see.
How we wish for love, untame,
a burning desire one cannot name.
But, it seems to soon turn sane,
once undying, now mundane.
Now, just leave me to sit here crying,
inside it lingers, there's no denying
but, it soon, I hope, will pass,
for, I know time won't heal my past.
Now I know my heart was free,
and false love it did not need.
So very fragile, it certainly seems,
now, so small: can't be redeemed.
