Burnt by the Fire

Aching, Tingling, Gasping for air
I find myself shaking with each line of text
brutal honesty is all I wanted
yet somehow you commanded much more from me- a hunger

Burnt by the fire that is our attraction
burnt by the fire that keeps bringing us together
burnt by the fear of making a mistake
burnt by the fire of my own being

Listening to your words I am struck by your admiration
with pangs of doubt
how can you feel something for me this strong
when you don't even know me?

you don't know my moody side
you don't see that I have a body image problem
you've placed me so high on the pedastal
that I'm afraid of the fall from grace that will inevitably result

Even though the burn of fire is strong and undeniable
the fire will eventually burn out
then what does the fire turn into
from love and admiration into hate and disgust?

I don't wanna be around for that
today I realized that not all men are created equal
and not all soul mates should be lovers
I've been burnt enough to know how painful getting burnt by the fire can be and I'd prefer to avoid the fire for once
