#57 Fire
I like to spread sparkles
To plant hopes and wishes
To flee from the unconventional
To dare and tease a bit
To go and step on the line
To touch the red button
Feel the vibration of the maybe’s
But as soon as someone crosses it
As soon as the fire ignites
I run away with fear
that I lose control over my feelings
senses, actions, mind, body
So I run away from you
So you can’t reach further for me
Hiding behind a thick curtain
Occasionally discreetly peeking out
just to see if you’re still there
I can much more easily create fires
not so talented on extinguishing them
so I touch and run
flirt and disguise
but don’t take me wrong
It’s just me, my unworthy thoughts
How could I believe you felt the same?
Not a possibility in my brain
So I run not to get hurt
though I wish I’d stay
Letting this fire consume us both.
