Playing with Fire

This poem was written about my emotional instability. Walking contradiction here. I change my mind on all the decisions I'm about to make. Decisions were never a strong point for me. My conscience has prevented me from doing some things that I know I should do.




There is a part of me inside
that wants to tell you how I feel
that I want you bad
and my passion is for real

I have had enough flirting
this is driving me insane
it's game over now
my feelings, I can't contain

I think of you all day
and dream of you at night
every moment spent with you
makes me feel alright

Flirting turning dangerous
Constanly playing with fire
friendship put at risk
caused by my desire

A leap of faith
Have to ask you out
Scared of what may come
fear caused by eternal doubt

Women are from venus
Men are from Mars
I anticipate your rejection
left to lick my scars
