Beacon of Light

I see a small flicker,
Somewhere off in the distance.
I know it's coming from you.
But I am not sure
If I should wait or run.

Part of me still believes
That there is a chance
You still want me.
The other tell me to quit
While I am ahead.

You're so much apart of me
Yet I know you shouldn't be.
Like an addiction
I know you're slowly killing me,
But I can't let go.

You're the fire that lights my heart,
And at the same time
The ice running through my veins.
Both fighting for victory
And in the end neither wins.

I know you'll always be there
Shining your beacon of light;
And when you do
My heart and head will fight,
But neither will prevail.
