Don't get burned
not again
Keep your hand away
The fire is too much
You'll turn to ash
Don't get too close
Don't touch the flame
No, not again
too late
The fire so compelling
It's sweet scent overwhelming
Hypnotic in its gaze
You can't help it
this time
This time it's different
It's not just your hand
You're holding your heart
Your soul its cocoon
Into the fire
You feed it
You feel the pain
But don't let go
Moves up your arm
Inch by inch
You try to pull away
too late
You've been burned
*turned to ash by this flame
