A flame burns in me,
Its burning for a while,
I know not why it is lives,
But is bright and agile.
Unknowingly I fueled it,
And also let it breathe,
There came a time it blazed,
Till I couldn't bear its heat.
The flame turned into fire,
I knew not what to do,
And attempts to pacify it,
Only led to more ado.
Craving for some comfort,
Better-- I wanted to feel,
And then found my solace,
As the bruise began to heal,
Soft touches and blows,
Of love and affection,
The burning was dying off...
The feeling-- near perfection.
I know what led the fire,
It was that of being alone.
I know what made it fuse off,
Companionship- my life adorned.
