January Poetry Contest - Arsonist

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjGTY776qb

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDQ5l2GIWL

You standing there

I'm over here

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWZP1XhXqC

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZmzYF9yUk

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtQfsCX349

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1SQyXT7yZ

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquw6gJaEtW

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsfWDnXjmM

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHSKJ8ukIp

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIr3BtNxPF

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

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPA0opKVxD

What if we tell them goodbye

I don't want to lie

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71rrxGSYAx

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

In my slumber it's your name I chant

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYETPijaBQ

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIPZaRYAsR

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5D9SQNyUz

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54gjfACv3T

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

We could never go there

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj26NkQ4dQm

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYYLnyeovu

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixpzpi7auN

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

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

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtMozrwjMj

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7kuUnBzxB

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTcCcEYFaN

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HZr2lApPA

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCrLrB6Oqu
