Conflict

The sight of her eyes
crept into my dreams again
forever lost, forever gone.

I'm a stolen heart trapped.
I don't know where I belong.

I hope that deprived hearts never die
when they're lost in time.

I've created a sanctuary,
now there will always be a place
where she and I will be together,
where I can feel the savage
twisted conflict of strange appeal
that makes dreams of her.

Some hearts echo love,
some hearts create love,
some hearts share love.

Within an hourglass,
sands fall like memories 
Another grain of mortal existence.
All my past, all my dreams,
reminders of lost glances.

Breathless time, look what you've put me through.
Remembering the past, my dreams of her.

Victim of hope,
saved by dreams?

I reside within a passionate cavern,
surrounded by flaming existence.
Flames mold and caress my internal shadows.
Dreams spawned, hopes brightened,
passions ripened, fantasies lived.

Ahead stands the final combatant,
the greatest gladiator named Reality,
one chance, one opening,
Flames meet Reality.
Who will win?

Love shall be victor.
I know no greater power..
To this omniscience, I sacrifice all.
Consume me - I am here.
