A little child, tall enough to see knees.
The flame, the heat so appealing...
Oblivious of the people-sized chairs in the room.
Lost ringlets hang loose over bare shoulders,
Naked feet smack the tiled floor.

My chubby hand reaches forward
Should I ? Shouldn't I ?
The decision is made
Pain is to follow
In metamorphosing forms.

Burning, feelings of guilt.
The whack of wood
That drummed out my childhood innocence.

Oh goodness, this really touched
my heart. I'm sorry for the pain.
