This suffocating word, desire;
driving me to pursue,
to possess.
To run through her raging fires,
where shooting stars vanish;
scattered among the ash
of ice blue sorrows.
I never thought possible
to suffer like this;
to suffer for a girl I once knew.
Branded by her burning lips
with a careless kiss;
her voice, a sirens curse.
I fell through,
tangled among twisted thorns;
her wicked smile
and whispering eyes
had lured me in.
Swayed by a foolish game,
stained with the residues of pain.
I withdrew and she flew.
Leaving disintegrated dreams
struggling to breathe.
Wandering a wilderness alone;
looking for my lost sparrow,
I was foolish to chase
into the storm.
