Love Poem: Beautiful Fire

Beautiful Fire

I thought you knew me

But I guess I was wrong.

 

I handed you my heart

And you returned to me ashes.

Touch like blue fire,

You seared away my soul.

 

In the end I still loved you,

You with no heart and no soul.

You’re the beautiful flames;

So dangerous, but so irresistible to me.

 

That look in your eyes

When you told me it was over.

Your eyes showed hatred,

But your heart still stuttered inside.

 

Your eyes burned away the last of me,

For I couldn’t see within you.

You hid my salvation,

And my heart was lost in the past.

 

It’s still stuck there,

My burned, loving heart.

It’s waiting for you to remember

And to burn me once more.

 

For you are the beautiful fire

That my heart beats for alone.

And I will wait forever

For the return of your flames.
