Fire Girl
As an infant,
she watched,
She saw the fire,
It was the only heat for
that cold dark house,
She wanted it,
so strong, alive and bold,
When she finally strained
to touch it,
They spat her hand,
they told her NO!
As she grew,
she became a mystery to them,
Unlike all the rest,
the fire somehow found a home
within,
She was a blaze,
they couldn’t put her out
Always growing, reaching
Claiming her ground.
Oh, how he wants her,
So strong, alive,
Bold
He wants to get within her,
he wants the fire for himself.
The heat burns as they touch,
They all tell him NO!
But he wants it for himself,
So he wraps his arms,
around her,
Her fire begins to go out.
This is it,
Live or die,
She turns the heat up,
more than he
can bear.
