Love, Fear and Fire

I never let you see,
the terrible burns you left on me.
I never showed a trace,
of pain in your embrace.
Back then i was afraid
to break my facade.
to end our charade.

I didnt let you see,
what your love would do to me.
The fires you and your kin,
apply to my fragile skin.
I kept my secrets hidden,
I did it for your protection,
for what I wanted was forbidden.

But now you see,
that we could never be.
You know the truth about me.
You know our love was lies,
you see the hatred in my eyes.
It was fake from the start,
so now its time to part.
