Burned out

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?
