Fire

Fire

A Poem by Neythan Cardoso
"

For all of you who have ever felt that things were a one way street.

"

The days when things were wild and hot

 

When you always wanted me no matter the time

 

I would go insane if I didn’t make out with you

 

It was like we were both drugs and we loved the way it went together

 

You’d let me know how bad you wanted me and how sexy I was

 

But now I don’t even know if I’m wanted anymore.

 

 

The hot fiery times have become this….

 

 

There is no more open opportunity

 

There is no more of course at this time

 

Now its I must do in order to receive

 

There must be a mood in order to connect

 

There must be no planning and just let it happen

 

And now the just let it happen has become a used to.

 

 

I still want you more and more to this day but now it’s become only one way

 

I try and try again and it’s become this one-way street

 

I’m not sure how much farther I should tread

 

I could just stroke your face and give you a look

 

And the face I got back was I had just got a hook

 

And I would open and read you like book

 

But now when I do it its just like I’m a f*****g sex crook….

 

 

Now what am I supposed to do?

 

Is there something I have done?

 

Am I no longer sexy?

 

Am I no longer handsome?

 

Is there another man charming you?

 

If you were in my shoes what would you do?

 

Hours used to go by and we’d go insane if we haven’t kissed

 

And now it goes weeks and nothing is even missed.

 

I used to stay up all night thinking about how crazy I am about this girl

 

But all it is now is how am I supposed to set things back on fire?

 

And now I’ve realized I cant blow away my problems in smoke

 

The true source of my relief is you

 

Everything about you, you’re the complete puzzle

 

But our lips don’t talk so our feelings don’t mix

 

Its just water and cool aid and its never stirred

 

And now my voice is never heard

 

Now I write my pains and my sorrows for all of you to see

 

That this beautiful young boy isn’t all fine and dandy

 

Inside there is a war raging on and he doesn’t know how to win

 

So again and again like the day after tomorrow I try again

 

And I get farther and farther

 

but just do me a favor.

 

Set us back on fire.

Thank you so much I'm glad it did!
This was good! It was easy for me to relate to your piece. I know how difficult it is to switch it up. Sometimes it's hard for me to write an email to a friend or even one of these comments with out using rhymes.

I love the way it came out and I'm more into dabbing into other ways of writing!
If her heart still belongs to you I'm sure if you showed her this you'd start making out on the spot haha. good luck
