A fire lights inside me
At the sight of all these strangers
Who are the people that I know best
Though a time ago
This would have been fun
The fire burns inside of me
Like something I have never felt before
The embers char my skin
Leaving behind
The remnants of my mind
But there is no injury
Worse than the burning
Of my emotions
Leaving the strangers'
Amber glow
In the shadows
Of my own burning emotions
