Love Poem: Slow Burn

Slow Burn

Watch what you want to see
Listen to what you want to hear
Some most definitely will disagree
The boundaries are very unclear
 
Emotions are much at stake
It grows during your sleep
Lives while your awake
Each moment it begins to creep
 
There is no escape
Not everyone should be free
Changing us to a formless shape
What may be you, could be me
 
The false takers of love
Broken hearts that may never return
Victims chose to fit like a glove
Lost in the ashes of a slow burn….
