Wildfires Burn In Your Eyes
You extend the juiciest of apples before my eyes
Imploring, "Come closer, love, and have a bite"
Eden is lost to us and it's too late for compromise
I'll not be tempted to savor forbidden fruit tonight
Your eyes flow with the passion you're needing
this last somber night we'll be sharing our bed
Saying no to you wounds my heart to bleeding
But I cannot give in, allowing it to rule my head
Your eyes burn in wildfires of your great want
But what they're not asking is for me to forgive
Memories of this night, in my dreams will haunt
until the time I close my eyes and no longer live
Your eyes search mine, hoping love is still there
How arduous a task for me to turn and look away
I'll leave quietly before sunrise, with you unaware
I whispered, "I still love you," while asleep you lay
