Igniting a Captivated Heart

by Carlee Ann   Jul 5, 2006


I don't know where it came from
And I hope it doesn't last
But I can't help but feel
These feelings from the past

Is it bad to say that I missed you?
Is it wrong to want you near?
Falling fast and failing again
Those are the things I fear...

I remember how I loved
Because truly, I still do
There never was a moment
When I wasn't loving you

I prayed everyday to forget
But you're still on my mind
It seems as if this care
Cannot be stopped by time

It's not like I asked for it
I don't want to feel this way
I spent so long feeling cold
I want the heat to go away

I can't speak the words, no
These things can't be ignited
We were in the wrong so long
I can't take being righted

My heart is burning embers
I can't take it anymore
What happens when I can't think
Because nothing is for sure?

This too will fade away
Like a whisper on the wind
But if I ever made a mistake
It was falling in love with you again

Captivated heart so forlorn
With no where left to turn
Please, leave my love alone
This heat is starting to burn

It's not that grand of a request
Is your heart too much to ask?
I won't play upon these fears
Because I know they shouldn't last

I wanted and I lost it
My heart is taken too
I tried so hard to avoid it...
But it's wrong to avoid what's true

Take this as my prayer, my love
Live just this one way
Keep me somewhere in your heart
Don't let me fade away

    Carlee, I know what this is about, YAY ME! Me and me alone, right? lol!! Well anypoo, I can't say that I know whats going to happen. But let time help you...it did for me...gosh. I know it hurts. It hurts so MUCH...I always thought you were strong for leaving it in the first place, something I could never do. But I love you, Car...and I'll be here for you no matter what!

    Your write was so touching (and not just becuz i can relate). The depths of your feelings are sometimes ignored until they can longer be. However you have captured perfectly that just becuz we have a certain feeling we do not always have to act upon it, especially if it is a road travelled before.
    Sad yet inspiring all at the same time!
