Desire
I picked up a bottle
With a liquid that burned like fire.
I looked at the label
And there it said Desire.
It burned up my insides
And torched my heart.
To this day I still have a scorched tongue
And words turn to ash.
But my heart still aflame
Feels more than anyone cares to ask.
It seems I still don't have enough spark
Or even enough heat
To make something more in life
Than just ends meet.
I drank from a bottle of liquid fire
And the directions said,
You gotta reach higher.
