In trouble

In Trouble

I meet people in trouble
we go for a walk have a talk

I fall in love with people in trouble 
must be something magical about it

Your problems turn me on
I get stirred up 

Then I’m running 
Into your burning building 

Flaming desire
Burn us both down 

There’ll be an investigation
Without definitive conclusions

It might take the shape
Of this poem
