There’s a flame that burns,
deep within me.
Sparked by hurtful words,
dormant by your touch,
and at times it rages,
for no reason at all.
I can’t control the flame.
It burns wild,
and out of control.
I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you,
so I should go,
but then see the tears in your eyes,
as I turn to walk away.
I just can’t do it.
The flame that once raged,
is nor merely an amber,
in a puddle of your tears.

wow...when I read this poem, I saw a reflection of myself. I know what that feeling is like...to want to just walk away and never come back...but then there is something or someone that is keeping you there...I love this poem!
