The Spark She Didn't Need
August 11, 2014
I look out into the dark,
Looking for the tiny spark,
To set me off,
To set me free,
To set me out into eternity.
His eyes smoldered for me,
I thought I saw the spark.
The one to set me off,
The one to set me free,
I wanted him for eternity.
The spark ignited,
my insides alighted.
It set me off,
It set me free.
Like I had known him for an eternity.
I, Scared by burning desire.
My insides were on fire.
It pissed me off,
I was not free.
Will it be like this for an eternity.
Where was the spark,
I found in the dark?
That set me off?
That set me free?
I'm lost in this eternity.
What I truly wanted
was not what I needed
To set me off
To set me free,
I drowned in my eternity.
