Maybe the world you knew

is burning

with the wisdom of fools

and all that you’ve done

with that can of gasoline

maybe you wondering what to do

running

from the mistakes that you chose

the flames of emotion that created ashes and ruin

where you once had a colorful party scene

and even as you are running

on the beach of the lonely

your lover is calling

the lover of your soul is chasing

pounding on your world-weary heart

even as your feet are racing

flowing

along the barren sand

driven by the guilt of what you’ve done

you can’t help but wonder

what would happen if I would turn

what would happen if I gave in

to the grace, I could have

what if I would embrace the love

my gentle pursuer wants to give
