Burning ChanceA Poem by Brandon MathisI keep calling but you don’t answer I can’t control myself Your love has spread into me like cancer Life has given me one last chance I can’t get enough of you Choosing a path for me to go through It’s like I’m going through loops Going in circles I’m spinning in place with the world I was wasting away before you came Drowning myself in regret and shame This time I will do things right Since you have brought the light back to my life I don’t feel the same Now that the world is not piercing me like knives It’s like I’m in loves trap My skin begins to turn black As this cancer begins to attack My life feels like it’s burning, turning to ash I don’t want to make you sad But I don’t think I love you back This was my last chance That I have set on fire My own words are piecing me like knives The bleeding tears that I cry My burning skin falls off As I’m now forever lost So I say good-bye As my life fades and I’m gone © 2012 Brandon Mathis |
