Fire

I stare down at my heart
Laying there blistered and burned
Simply a fool I walked into the fire
Trying to see what it guarded so well
No regrets, it was worth the chance
Though I got hurt in the end
To experience the wonder of you
If only for a second in time
I continue to watch you in awe
As you stay imprisoned by the flames
Watching them fade only to grow again
Sadness washes over my soul
Seeing you shiver uncontrollably
As tears stream down your face
You fear you will lose your feelings
If you step out before the flames die
Look in a mirror, stare into your eyes
Finally realize only you keep the flames alive
