The Flame

walking all around
staring at the fire
yearning deep inside
burning with desire

feeling all alone
wanting you right now
looking in your eyes
wondering just how

how do I tell a man
I want to be with him
removing all his clothes
as the lights are dim

I stare into the flame
with my head held high
breath a deep sharp breath
release it with a sigh

I wonder if he'll ever say
those word I long to hear
I wonder if he'll ever whisper
sweet nothings in my ear

again I set my mind tonight
remembering my goal
to tell him how I feel
really bare my soul

I get the nerve I walk around
to where he is now sitting
and what I see breaks my heart
and now I feel like quiting

she was a friend she knew I cared
and there she is in that chair
with him the man I have been longing for
how could she do that and I stare

she catches my glare
it's now a gaze
I am in such
a weary haze

how could my friend
be so brash
to steal my man
my heart does crash

I feel it breaking as it falls
to my feet and breaks in two
I turn to leave but I cannot still
she has my keys what do I do

I walk back over see the flame
looking deep for answers still
I must leave now I cannot stay
there is a way and I have the will

I walk around and find a ride
I leave them there with no goodbye
how could she sit there be so smug
when my feelings for him I did not hide

to lose the man it truly hurts
but to a so called friend is worse
now will I ever regain possession
of my favorite purse
