new flame

same old burn

By g.m.t Published 5 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read
picture credit: we’re not really strangers

at first i was thrilled

to have met you

to have learned your name

to have heard your voice

to have watched your eyes and lips as you spoke



the feelings you evoked



at first it was thrilling

the simple curiosity of it all

you had me enthralled



that was before

now ive gotten too close to a flame



i should’ve taken note

the warming atmosphere when appreciating fire from afar

only exists when at a safe distance

i don’t mind

being burnt alive



i dont mind being adorned in scars



-g.m.t.

sad poetry
