Fools rush head long into the path of such things
Take it from a fool who knows
Each day is a burden to rise
For all there was is now gone
Sick and demented minds linger in the place of joy
Listen to them speak
No true reason for life
Just another way to pass the day
Real love is no more then a lie
why be decieved
Years come and years go
We are still blind
Say it is not so
Yet in your heart the truth burns
The one who was everything
No longer a memory
Wounds heal and scars remain
Still lighter is the pain
Fools rush head long into the unknown
Only to burn in the fire that creates the light
That all consuming fire
That Deciever of truth
Dont believe the lies that bring joy
They also bring Heart Ache

The fire that creates light does burn and is an all consuming fire but it only burns away the dross. It might hurt for a while but the end result is joy!
I've read it with a spiritual slant but I also see a relationship love in it. Either way it's excellent!
Peace Georgia
