Shadow of Fire

He caught my eyes at first glance
On my second look I started deeply into his eyes
After that I started coming back here around this time
He was always here and my eyes always searched for him

He wasn't extraordinarily beautiful,
What had caught me in his trap was his expression of sorrow
The switch of emotion in his eyes sucked me in
In a matter of seconds he went from despair to determination

If looks could kill...I knew that look
The one before exacting vengeance
Such power, and that passion...
A look that leaves no doubt, a deadly promise

That dark need brought a fiery light to his eyes
One night he directed that gaze at me and I immediately responded
He never broke his gaze, one that scorched a hole through my heart
I knew then that I wanted his flames to caress me, consume me

He read my soul, as I did his, that knowing glint in his eyes
He pulled me in without uttering a single word
When he got up to leave I followed him
He waited for me in the shadows, pulling me against him for a kiss

That night something came to life inside me
A wild fire quickly spread through every part of me
Everything but him was cold to me
I'd die if he stopped sending me his heat

I'd do anything to keep those eyes directed at me
I existed because of him; I exist only for him
