Sitting here
The Flames and me
Their hiss
Calling me
Daring me to come near
Their heat burning
As it may
Warning me to
Stay away
Telling me it's
Forbidden
Yet I want it
Even more
The hotter it gets
The quicker I'm drawn
The setting sun telling me
We're alone
I jump in
Realizing only to late
That it only hurts
There is no truth
In the broken promises
Hate streaming
From our eyes
We don't understand
Why do we fall
Each and every time
Don't we ever learn
We deserve so much better
But we are drawn into
The Flames

If you don't like something,
Change it...
If you can't change it,
Change the way you think about it

I've been drawn into the flames many many times, nice write.

The tips of my fingers
Start to bleed the thoughts
That overwhelm me

Yes we all have in one way or another either what this poem was written about or another

If you don't like something,
Change it...
If you can't change it,
Change the way you think about it
