Burning Love

Your a misery I should avoid.

But your mystery draws me in.

A mystery I want to solve.

Everything about you screams

"Turn around, leave."


But I don't take the warning signs.

I ignore the red flags and continue.

Continue walking towards the smoke

That will eventually lead to a fire.

A fire that will consume every fiber of me.


Blinded by my naïve love for you,

I run towards the fire,

Mistaking the blaze for burning passion.

Before I realize my error,

The flame surrounds me.


The only escape from you

Is to get burned.

You blister my skin as I run away.

You left an unmendable scar on my heart.

Something I will never forget.


Our happy memories got washed out.

Now I only remember

The pain you caused.

The tears I cried.

But I can't blame all of this on you.


It's my fault too.

I walked into the fire in the first place.
