This is an ode to my girlfriend. I love you Rhiannon.
City on Fire

As my emotions are finally laid to rest
A new arm of infatuation gets my best
The longing and lust were almost in place
Beauty and perfection shows it's new face

I tell myself that the pain will be unbearable
I make sure to know that it will be terrible
And yet I can't help but remember that I can't resist
All the feelings I'm feeling, I couldn't list

The deeper I sight inside of her soul
Intertwined, for a moment I'm whole
Inside of her eyes, there's a city on fire
A tapestry of love, extremely thin wire

Ignorant to the fact we match at the seams
The warmth of your hands is all that I need
Your lips are like sirens, perched on your face
They sit there and taunt me with each note they lace

Like that of an angel, your thought pierces my slumber
These feelings wrapped tight, I need to uncover
The moon, the stars, the air that I breathe
Because now, in this world, you're the one girl for me
