Be Mi Amor

Be mi amor
It is you I cherish and adore
Evermore—everlasting
You can capture me grasping
To a picture you used to adorn
The mantel right atop our inglenook
Where we sat and chatted
Shared a laugh, shed a tear and nothing mattered
Now my heart I feel has shattered
On the floorboards my spirit scattered
As I sit in home and hearth
And with every dying ember wrought its love upon the floor
A yearning fire still burning with desire and amor
With a love that echoes throughout the course of the ages
The story is told but in no way changes
Since that is what fairy tales are for
A fire still burning with desire and amor
We have reached the anticlimactic segment of our tale
Where we have parted and hearts are frail
But the temperate blaze is nearly merely calming
Soon enough I feel the sun is dawning
As I sit in a reservoir of tears with no more laughter—no more cheer
The only thing which keeps me breathing hereafter
Is my hope that floats above the rafters
Hope that the story ends with me and you
Fairy tales can come true
A fire keeps burning with desire and amor
