An Exquisite Explosion

These are not the flames that I was thinking of
Not the way I thought we’d be burning up
When we first started this outlaw love
I guess I didn’t know, I’d love you this much
Didn’t know the volcano would erupt
Suffocate in this smoke,
Even though I can’t get enough
Couldn’t stand in it,
Abandonment
Came,
Abrupt
Was this
Not
What I thought it was?
I figured we could unbalance the equation
Thought we’d beat the odds - miscalculation
This heavy heart heist made my head spin
Especially when you double crossed this bandit
I was quite caught with my cookie jar hand in
When I realized, I lost, when I thought that I had it
I guess I should have known it
That our clever con and cover would be blown in
But,
My god,
What an exquisite explosion
