Knives and Fire

by Imaginarygirl.   Feb 4, 2007


Why do so many people play with knives?
Why do so many people play with fire?

Do not touch the flame.

Kill yourself or commit suicide they are both the same.
Regardless I want you to stay here,
Do not let me waste a single tear.
Because I want you near.
Don't let me live in fear.

Play with Fire and get burnt,
Play with knives and get cut.

Do not touch the flame,
You will burn your hand,
The pain is something that no-one can stand.

The past is in the past do not let it rule you.
It is important to understand.
Your past is not something to fear.
The present is ever changing.
There are a lot of people here.

Don't try to tame the flame.
Accept it but do not let it rule you.
This I beg of you.

The flame of emotion inside gets out of control.

Why do so many people play with the cutting knives?
Flirting with the same fire that left those burns.

Why do so many people play with fire?
Why do you not aspire for something more?
It is your life do with it as you please,
But I implore you think on this:
You are the only one who can live your life
And I don't want you to go near that knife.

Fire burns.
So do you.
Fire hurts
So do you.

Why do so many people play with knives?
Why do so many people play with fire?
