fingers burned

by Christie - Aries

needing to be by his side,
wanting to live my life over
haunted by painful memories
that won't go away
pulling myself from the wreckage
praying for a chance
to be blocked from all reality
it's only a dream
hey how have you been
is life treating you well
storm clouds raining on my parade
yet i still smile
spend my life working
life broken up by full time hours
wishing his kiss flew quicker,
tempting the fate
that God has written in the stars
my stars
mesmerized by his beauty
caught up in a trance
by his sweet smile 
ah, me only if for a second chance
i cant stay too late.
Stoned by a romance so deep,
feeling the gods nibbling on my feet
alas it's time to go
my heart beats with a new life
feeling free
feeling like someone other than me
without a doubt
without a care,
my eyes shine to the new light
i have discovered,
a vision of you and me together
show me the way
lead me to you
to your path
broken from the fingers down,
my eyes drift off to sleep
feeling the cool breeze
kissing my breast
oh how I wish it was your lips
envoking the passion
why did you leave me alone like this
wounded heart opened to the salty wind
caving in
crumbling just a bit
the old saying is
don't get to close to the fire
because your fingers will get burned
a lesson taught
a lesson heard
yet one that can't seem to be learned
