Burned out on life?
Burned out

Caught my soul on fire
Dancing too close to the edge
One too many sparks out of control
Burned out with no place to go.

I have been running for so long
My feet full of sores.
Distance not measured in miles
Burned out being wrong.

Life caught me sleeping
During the important lessons.
I was sure I would get what I needed.
Caught off guard; my heart was dreaming.

Burned out
Love gone dry.
My heart melted
Not going to cry.
Will it be worth another try?
