January Poetry Contest - Arsonist

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKWj4wtmnc

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1xldX7Pav

You standing there

I'm over here

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L6feo3k7I

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjakUqMllA

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmUJimFsEJ

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4baCj0Mcm

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ5tT61GoF

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YCs4SyUvY

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A4sNTXxQW

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQwZUYp6Xi

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

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgPUVnFQkS

What if we tell them goodbye

I don't want to lie

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWluyGygvKX

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

In my slumber it's your name I chant

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ827RnZZuQR

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM8k186E8G

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyalWmBCz1

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL3Xw4qE6g

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

We could never go there

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd4o42lQSm

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9XiMg5LMn

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iEBl8sH41

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

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

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Oj29FFywB

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjhdC6VuZk

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduYt6hxtHG

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RWpX6CLYy

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGXI8Mz4YP
