Ember of Chances

She's doing good in her life so far,
She's not looking for another permanent scar.
Then you're coming right off bat,
Leaving footprints all over the path.
Like a mountain lion
Resurging from zion.
So dangerous yet so beautiful.
Strange on her like a fool.
She would touch you if she could,
Even though she never should.

She's too strong to feel pain now,
But then somehow,
You left her with another permanent scar,
And the deepest so far.
You've got that elemental gravity,
You get all things fall within your vicinity.
Just as they thought they're flying over to the atmosphere,
You got them spinning all around and your hand is on the sphere.

Is it her looks or is it her wits?
Made you tell the truth right from the gist.
Without a jest or a twist,
Beautiful lies all caught up in a mist.
She built that bridge of chance.
And you burned it while she watched the ember turn into ashes...
Then suddenly a trance.
