karma 101

When the bridges are burned
Charred like your soul
How you gonna face the mirror?
Whispering secrets with devilish grins
To the shadows
Instead of facing the demons

It must be warm
Dancing among hell’s embers
Believing if you pluck butterfly wings
Your deeds are undone
But how you goin’ feel
After the third time around your psyche
Leads you back to the origin of your pain?
Pursuing silver lined clouds failing to see the beauty
In spring showers
Where lovers walk like they got a secret
Sharing answers between kisses
Your jealousy is contagious
Spread fire like breathe exhaled

I see you struggling – saw you hi tail’n
On that last lap
Trynna catch karma slipping
Fell in love with her over poems and prose
She tasted your naivete and feasted for hours
Left a note instead of her number promising
You reap what you sow
