January Poetry Contest - Arsonist

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbRk6yIm9g

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQGl4bvQ2s

You standing there

I'm over here

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtQBPiTGlY

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJHF0pftkG

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6DhkQ35jl

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91EWGWq3FV

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpodk1ezSA

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ279VBZcV9d

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7dEIFddNm

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiLTkstfLK

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

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPW3XxlJln

What if we tell them goodbye

I don't want to lie

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P4IAxae95

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

In my slumber it's your name I chant

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlcpl0hEIt

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHQEBSbBpc

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHniEaRwHBO

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iglp2HEjY

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

We could never go there

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYo6E5kqK8

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkPbbF8Y6M

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb249saU6q

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

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

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBtAVYudjF

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmVaUjxvWO

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TylvPwVMS

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPekZ7dqYu

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGxxFZJ1iD
