Fire

Fire

A Poem by ElizabethAmBurns
"

The dying relationship of two very different people and a third intervener.

"
Kept in a grate and fed on coal, 
it kept you warm but cost his soul. 
The crackle of flames became a roar 
as I led him to the forest floor. 
Some may get hurt as we run through 
but that's the price of old for new. 
So don't blame me because you got burnt; 
you play with fire, the pain is earnt.
