Learning From Bad Love's Burning

All these years I've never learnt It's so easy to get burnt By the flames of love's romance But I always took the chance When the hotness of passion Sent all my common sense dashin' As the warmth of love got higher So didn't all my desire The flames of red, blue and yellow Burned me with every new fellow Who's lies sizzled from their tongues Every word left wounds and stung Like hot coals burning my flesh All my loves were such a mess Leaving me to wonder why I torture myself and try To finally find someone who Would not scar me through and through Giving it just one more shot For my lonely desperate heart I felt a spark different and strange My emotions would soon change From badly damaged and scorched To a brighter loving torch As you pulled me from a past This fire ignited fast Never burning out because I have found a hot new love

Again, another grrreat title! I agree with Kelly: we've all been there. You've written something to which everyone can relate. Great work, Sweet Pea! :)

I have been there before, I think we all have, Robin. We do get burned sometimes, and eventually those scars heal. And, we find a new flame that ignites our passion once again. An amazing poem! I loved it! I wish you the best of luck in the contest!...Thanks for the great comments, as always!
