BRANDED BY LOVE

You will be branded
if you don't get away
when it begins to burn
but you choose to stay

The longer you allow
the hot iron to braze
to scorch your skin
to torment your days

The greater the chance
that it will mar
and leave you blemished
with a permanent scar

The more time you give
to a love filled with pain
when the agony is unbearable
and you shouldn't remain

the greater the chance
that the mark left on you
will brand you for life
so what will you do ?
