PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I wanted to go there because I didn't want to be here

and that is where I picked up a spark, in the chamber of my heart

to seek the luxury of overindulgence

I lived and tripped with every blessed breath of time

I thought I sought heaven, but hell arose in the shame of my chaos

I knew from the start that we would cause fire with our tongues

but I didn't know that we would blaze an inferno with our bodies

so easy it was for you with immature eyes

buying and trying with lucid lies

those lies hurt just for awhile; but the traffic of distractions kept my soul at bay

and then I got your text

and there you were standing outside my door

looking for more heat

I never wanted to just flash and burn

I tried for something tangible

but you always left me with the counterfeit stash of your existence

and you're stronger than I'll ever be

and whether I walk away or whether I 

r     u     n

a spark will flicker in the dark...for you
