Love's Ouchorama


I play with fire
That scorches me,
Breaks my heart,
Melts my mind
Into moon pies.
I can't help myself.
There is no stopping it,
It has to play out,
Play me for the fool I am.
So I wait,
For the kick
In the seat of the pants,
While chased
Running, breathlessly, running
Over life's red-hot coals.
OUCH!  OUCH!  OUCH!
