Trapped Choices

Can you fall into a trap

If it's where you really want to be?

Be blinded by love,

If you don't want to see?

It is hard to be suspended in air,

but the earth is no longer the same.

No matter how hard I try to stay away

I can always hear you calling my name.

And, of course, I come stumbling back

Into the ocean of our flames.

But when the ashes are all that's left,

I'm the one that gets all the blame.

We were never meant for each other,

Just names written on the same heart.

Fire and gasoline willingly mixed,

And we lay there watching the inferno start.

Infatuation has many faces,

Different names and ways

I tried to sate the desire, temptation so strong,

But faithful dogs never stray.

I came slowly to you last night,

Willing, begging you to turn me away

Instead you pulled me into your arms,

Never knowing each other during the day.

All I want is faithfulness

And I know in you it can never be found.

But while I walk away from you

My heart is turning around.
