No Plagiarism!stxzja7W9El4RO3EELjvposted on PＥNAＮＡ

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYPZR7a7E5

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRX3Yc6aIN

You standing there

I'm over here

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR6LDRmel7

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aXvYwDQsC

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TiEyVeSVq

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyNHGupqGl

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByFYcvm51l

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUw84UuFe7

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGEWqZwPNC

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfxIDwI5pB

All those years ago when both us were single

Why didn't the spark between us lit a flame

A sort of kindle

My heart should have known your name

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcumbecr5H

What if we tell them goodbye 

I don't want to lie

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIWgqoYJ0r

Not to myself and not to him, but it's you I want

In my slumber it's your name I chant

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa05VzdZRwr

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEi9CJ7on2

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcrEkGTf3L

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KYXyP0pvv

Of the memories of me and him, you and her,

We could never go there

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEPqdAYoM2

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGRSZPshRu

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRxHPhgsKM

Just wanting to touch you once, feeling your lips on mine

Shaking the thoughts out of my head, it's a damn crime

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1czbPiH3B

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBrjdCxYJD

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKHeQA1tpw

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur 

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnkRGrWaYc

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2vzYAIHg5
