Arson Tonight
My passion burns like arson tonight
this fire yes, I did ignite
I was the dead oak tree, your provided the gasoline...
All consuming, flames licking the sky
screams of terror, then my sighs
I played with matches, and got burnt, no lesson here can be unlearnt.
I ruined my friendship and lover too
mixing them together, I should have knew
the oldest proverb in the book, love and lust can be mistook
Why I chanced it, I’ll never know
I’d rather have my friend back, the lust can now go
Its a mingling that cannot be undone, I’d wish it’d change with the rising sun....
Why, I pray ?
Did I screw this up!
