The smoke signals

The smoke signals

A Poem by Marquise


I wanna be free and get lost within you
Then maybe I'll find myself.. my baby.
I want to get lost like my fingers do
when they glide thru your hair, and
lay silent with you... my baby.

If only the fire inside that was
left behind would go away.
Even the water from our tears
won't quench the thirst of these flames.
And the smoke just sends me signals
that you're still in love...
with him...

I want to explore your dreams
when we're both asleep
and go to battle for you
in your nightmares.. my baby.
And sure this may risk me
missing out on my own dreams, but
you are well worth the risk... my baby.

But it seems I've come across one
demon that I can't defeat.
He's hiding right behind your heart.
I have all the compassion and drive to
defeat him, but the obstacle you've
placed in front makes it too hard.

Why won't you move for me.
Why won't you move for you.
I've been thru the fire.
Even the flames didn't hurt this much.
And the smoke just sends me signals
that you're still in love with him...
