You ignited something in me
Warm feelings of love and care
The embers glow and keep my soul alight
But then you leave and I fan the flames
My bellows pump out of control
The embers burn, the wallpaper catches
And before I know it the curtains are on fire
I try and stamp out what I've started
Trying to salvage the house we built
But everything is in tatters now
Singed edges and smoke wafting
You return and see what I've done
How can I possibly turn that small, warm glow
Into such destruction?
I'm an arsonist of love
Don't build your home here
Don't trust me with your keys
Don't believe me when I say I'll change
I'll throw the match that starts the flames
With the fuel in my mind
And the doubt in my heart
I'm an arsonist of love

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.
