Pan left and zoom in
on the corner of my mind
Disentangle the heartache
and Reassemble the pieces
of time
Pan right and zoom out
to grasp the bigger picture
a muted pink surface reflecting
a distant past
Swept away
Never had I imagined
the burn
that resides in
the pit of my stomach
You cause me heartburn,
But there's no stopping it
That burn, that need, that desire
Is what keeps me from
falling apart
I don't want to get burned
but when playing with fire
there's no way to stop
The flames keep on rising
and I'm burning to the core
just keep getting closer
There's something
I want to explore

Disentangle the heartache
and Reassemble the pieces

Swept away
Never had I imagined

that resides in
the pit of my stomach
You cause me heartburn,
But there's no stopping it
That burn, that need, that desire
Is what keeps me from
falling apart
I don't want to get burned
but when playing with fire
there's no way to stop
The flames keep on rising
and I'm burning to the core
just keep getting closer
There's something
