What Am I?
Guess the inspiration for this piece in the comments.
I gave you warmth and peace
I danced for you on demand
We cackled in bliss
I was there to comfort you
And when you were angered,
I let you throw the punches.
Because by the end of it all,
You looked at me with curiosity, and I,
Flickered flirtatiously, like embers in the air
And even though you snuff me out time after time,
I keep coming back,
The way you look at me, like old times
