The Bonfire

I don’t know what to say anymore

Perhaps I’m doomed to solitude

Perhaps there is a lesson I must learn

Alone

Before I’m allowed to be in love

I am like the paper

Thrown to burn in the big fire

While most embers catch flame and fly away

Together

I singe on the bottom

Until I burn into

Nothing.
