Love is a fire

by Amber Justice
(Vinton County Ohio)

If I told you, I loved you,
Would you run away screaming?
Would I lose you forever?
Love is like a two edged sword
It hurts either way
I won’t tell you I love you
Because I'm afraid to lose you
If I don’t tell you
You will date some other girl
Then I'll have to deal with that
If love was fire then burn me alive because
Death is better than living without you
Just let me drown in my own tears
Because I’ll never be enough for you
Live life creating memories that last
Good memories like ones
Of you and him staying up late
Talking about your next date
Take it slow not to fast
Know Love will come in the end
Waiting for it can mean
tears and pain
Love will cover
this heart broken stain
