The Fire

Against my better judgement, I'm gonna post another blog instead of going to sleep.

I should sleep. I still haven't fully recovered from this weekend. I am still impressed though that it only took me 2 hours and 45 minutes to drive back from Chattanooga.

Well, I will post something else I wrote. It's from a little while ago. I'm kind of experimenting with this one. Enjoy...

The Fire

It's time to distance myself from you

Discard my regret

My sadness

My desire

We had a brief run,

But our time is through

I'll do damage control; I will put out the fire

Extinguish the past

Memories burned in my mind

No way could this last

What was I trying to find

Secretly wanting acceptance

But engulfed by this flame

Now I have missed my chance

Things can not be the same

Left burning deeply it has made an impact

Destroying my feelings

My wants

My dream

We had a bleak outlook,

And that is a fact

I'll recover from this; go back to how it should seem

Extinguish the past

Memories burned in my mind

Things happened too fast

I let myself fall behind

Secretly wanting acceptance

But engulfed by the flame

You offered no resistance

But I'll still take the blame

It's time to discover what I'm looking for

Deliver my needs

My thoughts

My hope

We can exist in my heart,

But I want to have more

I'll continue the search; and I will learn to cope.

Extinguish the past

Memories burned in my mind

The last stone has been cast

Yet history can't rewind

Secretly wanting acceptance

But engulfed by the flame

Left me with no defense

I'm getting out of this game
