They told me this fire would hurt, that love
is a curse if you care enough,
but I never gave heart to
the thought that our love was
anything other
than a blessing -
a wish that
we could
burn.

This is such a beautiful poem Amanda! I love that ending.
Oh! I love this one! I love that we had a similar idea but went different directions with it 😁😁
Great transition into the final 3 lines! And strong burning imagery!
Felt it and those deep lines
ouchy...felt this one. Love how you streamlined it and stayed on theme throughout! Fantastic work, Amanda - though very sad! (Feel I say that a lot for many of these nonets lol!)
