Dear Heart

must you need
to be told again
and again
a lesson
you have long ago
learned?

play with fire.
you get burned.

others can play;
they know how
to keep their hearts
out of it.

you can not.
you never can.

play with fire.
you get burned.

you think
you just love him
with your body,
but heart
comes along
still.

play with fire.
you get burned.

must you need
to be told again
and again
a lesson
you have long ago
learned?

play with fire.
you get burned.
