Our Love Was a Fire Alarm No One Pulled

A cycle of poems «Your Kiss Tasted Like a Late-Night Regret»

Sirens blared in empty halls,
Echoes bouncing off the walls.
We burned too fast, too bright, too warm-
Our love was a fire alarm no one pulled.

We knew the danger, felt the heat,
But still we danced on broken feet.

Our love was a fire alarm no one pulled,
Flashing warnings left unfulfilled.
We raced the flames, then watched it fall,
A blazing heart that no one called.

You sparked the flame inside my chest,
A reckless blaze that wouldn’t rest.
We ran too wild, we ran too free,
Ignoring signs we couldn’t see.

We knew the danger, felt the heat,
But still we danced on broken feet.

Our love was a fire alarm no one pulled,
Flashing warnings left unfulfilled.
We raced the flames, then watched it fall,
A blazing heart that no one called.

Now ashes drift where embers died,
Silent smoke where we once cried.
If only someone heard the sound,
We might have stood on safer ground.

Maybe we were meant to burn,
To crash and fall, to lose and learn.
But still I wish we’d heard the bell,
Before we fell into this hell.

Sirens fade in empty halls,
Memories echo, shadows crawl.
Our love was a fire alarm no one pulled-
A warning lost, a story told.
