Desire of Fire

Ablaze

Burn the bridge

Crossing to the other side

Strike a match

Strike a new

Cut the rope

who could have knew

Pull the cord

what can I do

Point of no return

No point to return

The grass is greener

I left the other side ablaze

Other half burning

You choose to stand in the flames

Cross that bridge when we get there

Set a blaze, turned and can't look back

Burn the bridge

Burn the bridge

Choosing to stand in the flames

I watch from the other side

I watch from a good safe distance

I watch with so much resistance

I want to turn back

I want to save you

I watch you burn

We're so self-destructive

I watch from the out side

Can't bear the sight

It's truly sad

It really is

I'll always Love you

As I watched you be burned into my brain

Scorched into my mind

Love

Space

Time

Oh the time it takes to let go

you once and will always be mine

I turn away but not in my mind

it's so hard to find...

it's so hard to find...

can't get her out of my mind...

it's so hard to find

she once was mine

it's so hard to find

sad poetry
