When we first met
you were glowing
like polished silver
or molten gold.
So I hoped that you
would have me
and warm my heart
when it was cold.
At first your heat
warmed my heart
and slowly melted
the ice that was there.
But in time my heart
began to melt away
and turn to rain
in the cool blue air.
Even though my
young heart’s hurting
as I dwell deep
within your flames.
Please know that I’d
rather melt for you
than to play
another’s games.
