Baker's Man Help Me If You Can

The oven's 
Too hot
So I keep
My distance
Like you 
Do

I tried
Cooking
Once with 
Heart's and
Emotions
But they 
Turned out
All wrong
Uncooked
And bitter
In our mouths

We tried
To make
It rise
But it fell 
Flat
Imperfect suffle
We couldn't
Get to set

The kitchen's
Too empty
I'd go over
To ask for
Some sugar
And maybe
You'd come to 
Stay and help
But you're gone
So I guess I've
Got to make this
Work on my own

Very well written, Charissa. As my mother used to say, "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen." This is probably why so many people "once burned" by love are reluctant to get close to someone again. Best wishes, Carolyn
