January Poetry Contest - Arsonist

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUjW3YTYom

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaDzTaywLy

You standing there

I'm over here

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTFVPqbTHY

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshUL1FkZS2

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKpEwhv2az

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc19CSShmY

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGM4TXejai

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpbsf5lNVE

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PqGk1zJ2H

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjJS8vQX9T

All those years ago when both us were single

Why didn't the spark between us lit a flame

A sort of kindle

My heart should have known your name

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w9Zlg2t2i

What if we tell them goodbye

I don't want to lie

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkAPRGDJf8

Not to myself and not to him, but it's you I want

In my slumber it's your name I chant

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gqR73IRDY

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0SXnXmYRP

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbWAGTsOkb

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEahSWiBEk

Of the memories of me and him, you and her,

We could never go there

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV93BD9ZQL

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOoXMxle0d

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoGwMfgUUi

Just wanting to touch you once, feeling your lips on mine

Shaking the thoughts out of my head, it's a damn crime

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZsxwYJs9n

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWh9tHR9Na

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLoY0qTxAJ

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje8CTMBzK5

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSmvlLDgJz
