Love Potion-Vol #2

her hair flickers like embers from an open flame,
auburn blooms, watch them break away, never reunite
they flail in flight, off into the wind and night, drifting to a place misunderstood; searching to find what’s good, shelter amidst the cold, stay lit, don’t fade, cause if it dies, what gives, who cares but me…so i pray my soul

glow immense, heat emitting, not really though, cause
from inside a different temp hides, so cold it burns out the fire;
drowns out the life…fire won’t live there, can’t breath enough of what it needs to stay i can only pray that ember finds it’s way, back to where it was born, the womb that carried its life until it went astray.

cold summer nights enclose my mind, takin me where i won’t follow;
make sense? no choice in the matter tho, dragging me down the stairs, i suffer through, tomorrow will be bright-her life is in her hands, return? who knows.. her timing isn’t kept on a clock, no tick tock to watch, but a life watch. watch-ing her dance in the rain, free? really? wishing i had the reigns to pull back what i made? no control can hold, this wild one is bold, you’re free to do what you do, if your soul says it’s true

always, i live in you
