Fire and Fear
September 19, 2009
They say fire is bad.
Don't touch it.
But I've tasted.
And I loved it.
You turn it up.
But never too much.
I want to feel your.
Every touch.
But I'm afraid.
Of getting burned.
Of being lied to.
No love returned.
If I can say.
What I feel.
Will you tell me.
That it's real.
If I could.
I would.
Help me become the fearless image I see in the mirror.
