January Poetry Contest - Arsonist

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClhByXZugJ

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9Vsi4Siqz

You standing there

I'm over here

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg2RIiC62F

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluPpnqezR2

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrMdmG3EMO

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDInUa2uxSJ

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6swNlOG9oG

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg19oaKB7O

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw6rvdxjr2

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbAZoOPaQS

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

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF9MnamZ2j

What if we tell them goodbye

I don't want to lie

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcWbbeGSlZ

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

In my slumber it's your name I chant

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLhBT7yHX3

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdliXsufcAg

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmLmXk5hlX

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DeRGKZQlk

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

We could never go there

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBvA6qGdLW

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQdBc9pWl7

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJJSluBbez

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

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

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnMJBRMukp

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51CH6Y0Nm7

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJOzpUcssK

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2eerSQydl

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz91yYLneCV
