i stand before you
clothed only in this vulnerability
     draped loosely about me...
seems
i've suited the floor
with my protective armor
it no longer belongs
     to me--
nor does my heart...
you have granted me
     permission
to
     love
          you
and this time
i have put my heart
     in your right hand
my soul
     in your left...
we play with fire
               my
                    love
and we move ever closer
to the heat
with each brick we take down...
     the flame is hot--
     will it not burn?
might we walk away
with wounds that will scar
     i will risk it
i would not
trade
this hold
     you
          have
               on me
for the freedom
of being
          without
               you...
we play with fire--
     do you still want to play?

The trouble about playing with fire is you always seem to get burned, and yet even knowing that we still want to play!
