Love Poem: Fire

Fire

The fire

She looks at me
And I turn away
She knows something’s wrong
But I would not say

She kisses my lips
But it’s cold like ice
She wants the truth
But it’s full of lies

She has tears in her eye
As her favorite song plays
Then she holds my hand
And softly says

Where is the fire
Where is the fire
We light in the night

And where is the love
Where is the love
To keep it burning bright

I stood in silence
 Nothing left to say
How do I tell her?
The love just went away

I still love her
But I’m not in love
And when I got to sleep
Someone else I dream of

She sets a table
 Candles lights and champagne
She kiss my lips and 
Then ask me again

Where is the fire
Where is the fire
We light in our lives

And where is the love
Where is the love
To make it survive

Though we found romance
The night love walks in
And I don know what happen
But its just not there again

I said I have to go
 Kiss her on her cheek
And as I walk out
We did not speak

And as I drive away
She’s crying in her bed
And the word she said
Won’t leave my head

Where is the fire
Where is the fire
We light in the night

And where is the love
Where is the love
To keep it burning bright
