I stood
'In The Mouth Of The Fire'
and survived
saturated somewhat
by the singe
but wiser from
the experience
what was I thinking
such a lovely illusion
those precious few months
gave
someone who understood
me
or so I thought
and seemed to find much value
in my mere
consequence of being
not constant requests
that I should change
its still sad to reflect
that it just was not real
but two people loving
their own idea of
who they thought
the other was
not the real person
but I can not regret
I've wished him all the best
now, one foot in front of
the other
I, myself should
be willing to step
and so
I'm working on it...................
