Nest For Two Brown eyes transfix, Dimples spread across grinning cheeks, Hair as dark as a ravens wing, In the shower you dare to sing, We met in a place of hardship, Filled with dust, noise and matchmaking, You spoke of romance, truth and joy, But then you left, a thoughtful ploy. You said it was bad to mix business with pleasure, I said "fine", lets date at your lesiure. Only I didn't know, That another girl was there too, Taking away the hand I now hold. Soon Valentines Day drew, Keeping you away from me, The girl you had, you took on a date, Leaving me to sit at home and contemplate. Will he leave her? Or will he not? Should I put him on the spot? But no sooner had Valentines ended, That he had texted, Saying it was me he wanted, and the relationship was ended. I felt bad for feeling so good, But at least the girl knew where she stood. Now its been four years, living together for two. I love him so deeply, And he loves me too, Creating our little nest for two.

Love Yourself Trapped, cold and restless, Darkness clouding my vision, Fear, harsh and unfeeling, Destroying the remnants of my remaining hope, The smell quivering my senses, Smoke swirling in a vortex of nothing, My body damp with sweat, As the haunting yellow of fire blazes, The smell of scorched flesh attacks my nose, Swirling beautifully in its heated glow, Never again such pain will I allow, to take grasp of my innocent soul, I was warned of the scorching of flesh, and the pain of scorn, The piercing stab of love at first sight, and the all engulfing swarm. The swarm of heat that enfolds you, in its clutches like fire, that burns, hurts and beats you down. Like a depressed dog at the pound. The fire wraps your hand in his, desperate to fulfil its needs, Until you decide, that somehow, your free! Don't fret say's me. For you will see. That one day soon you'll realise, that the fool was he. The fire burns bright, I know, and promises the heated glow. But theres no longer a glow, where one was before, The fire, trying to turn your glow to stone. Take care little glow, take heed. Don't let the fire extinguish thee, Love comes and goes, is a game of give and take. Don't make the same mistakes. Take care of yourself, Love yourself. Truly.
