Fireplace

Fireplace
by Michelle Williams 3/23/2011

The fireplace is burning
Hole in my soul
As I sit here wishing I had someone to hold
I know they say a girl shouldn't be so bold to say
"I wish I had a man today".

Is it wrong of me to inquire my desire
Is it wrong of be to inquest my request
What is this burning down deep in my heart

When will the fireplace go out?
I wonder what this poem is all about?
Could it be a hidden message?
Saying that I have a longing for passion
Or is it saying that I long for a companion?

Your guess is better than mine
I am just sitting here wasting time
Thinking about all the time
I have wasted wishing for the man I need to be free,
free for me.

When that day will appear
I just pray that it be less than a year
because I dont know how long this fire will burn
For this man that I yearn

The house smell of wooded smoke
Its not the smell that would make you choke
Its the smell that would make you wonder
Where is he, somewhere out yonder

I am putting in my request
I dont care if you destest
I just want my hearts desire
The one who will this firery feeling in my heart
And with his love I will never depart.
