January Poetry Contest - Arsonist

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc3Chmkpyl

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5qAJJ6Qac

You standing there

I'm over here

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYA58sGEeZ

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS0JB7Dzlq

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIZE0rjT7i

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnytES33Cyv

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfgt93vd6e

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbQmdbbtWY

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHSvqSPE1V

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1jilg6Gs

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

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX4A4GCyML

What if we tell them goodbye

I don't want to lie

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFOB8KAL4t

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

In my slumber it's your name I chant

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyHTomd8AE

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjMvEL9wyr

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcXWQQr35q

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVmJAhCTz1

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

We could never go there

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd0ryVVaMb

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41jGWxcuph

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYtLZtVB7S

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

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

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu1GWJqM37

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8ONvPEW5

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZP0UAdjUs

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEGqWCv7kv

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENixypzSqc
