Your friendship feeds the fire Because you're my entire You're my whole completion But I have a worry secretion You'll use a companion deletion
When we're having fun You and I are one I feel extremely close to you For you teach me the value of two But you begin to lose me At the introduction of three Jealousy piles on more Once you reach four And so on and so on Until I'm all gone
The fire we've built together is too great I fear the day You are burnt by the friendly fire The pain brings you to your senses And you notice the extent of my wildfire Having no semblance of control It must be extinguished Because by this point It's all I can see Part of my family tree A fire that burns so bright It protects me from night But the fire was so red It travelled to my head You see how that went With me pitching a tent To hide in solitude From the steam that rises When fires must be put out
Happy to hit 50. Appreciate all the support and feedback. I try to keep communication to a minimum to see how the poetry stands on it's own. Thank you to those that have read any of my poems. If you're one of the few that have read all of them, you may understand me more than most of the people in my life.
