The Flame

 

 

There you were, standing in my life just like a flame.  I burned myself so many times I became numb to the pain.  Your voice was an addiction, your smile my medication.  But so many times you didn’t notice I was there.  Forever I thought would be the word you would someday say to me.  But you walked out, never looking back.  You never said a thing I imagined.  So hopefully the scars will teach me to stay away form the flame, ‘cause I don’t think I have enough strength to cast myself away…

i love ittt!!!! it is so true about emotions and how people feel so much.
stay close to the flame, you get burned. turn the other way and only slightly acknowledge the warmth.
