If Only Things Were Different

If Only Things Were Different

A Poem by
"

This is how I feel about this situation I'm in now.

"
If only I can show you that what he says is a lie. 
But instead I'm forced to make my feelings hide.
Used like a blowtorch to burn the building down.
Until I run out of kerosene and no longer make a sound.

All for one reason, to hold you in my arms.
Even though staying in the end might do me harm.
You're worth the risk at least for the present time
Will I be left getting pity for a dime

So watch as I burn and watch me suffer
Watch the cold drool of blood from one man to another
All because cupids arrow struck to soon
Now I drown my suffers in a broke down saloon

The three wise men can't help me now
From the wedding chapel to the burial grounds
All forgotten because of a broken law of Moses
As you realize you lost the one you were closest
To

very tragic to lose someone that way. you have to really love the girl to want her back after what she did to you. if she keeps leading you on while seeing someone else you just need to walk away as hard as it is because she is just being selfish. very evocative poem. great job.
