Kiss the flame.

Heheh, it's so disjointed and weird xD
It's not really a coherent thought, it's just kinda... there xD

Mommy always told me
not to play with fire
"Don't do it,"
she'd say
"It'll only hurt you."

But what do
grown-ups know?

"Mommy knows best"
always seemed
like a joke.

At least to me.

And the lure
of the flame,
so bright,
so wild,
so free.

But it always burns out
so fast.

So go ahead,
lean in,
seize the day
kiss the flame.

It won't bite back
if you don't let it.

It's not playing
if you've tamed it.
