Between Two Fires

I drove for fifty miles and then got lost
A blanket on the field of unbroken frost
These are the days that I cannot postpone
As my heart gets used to being on its own
Sometimes love can last a lifetime
Other times it tires
I can not blame you now it’s gone
We were caught between two fires
Grey and amber, violet and blue
My future and my past converged in you
I dream I see your shape go past my door
Attachment shifts with age, stays as before
Sometimes the heart has no idea
Of what it thinks that it requires
But I can not blame you now it’s gone
We were caught between two fires
Everyone has limits from the start
Finding what they are is the tricky part
Sometimes love can last a lifetime
Other times it tires
I can not blame you now it’s gone
We were caught between two fires
Caught between two fires
Of what the heart desires
