Burning Love

• Artist: Gazma
• Description: I've had that picture as my default for awhile on another site. I started to formulate this poem back then, but never sat down and actually wrote it out. Now, I finally finished it and hope that you all like it.

I walk through the flames
Reaching for her
For she is the only thing I see

I hear her screams
"Don't do this!"
"Not for me..!" she sobs

I see her tears
I see her fears
As the flames lick at my body

"But this is for you..."
"It has all been for you..."
I say with a weak smile.

"Go back!"
"I'm not worth it!"
She screams with such sorrow.
Such sorrow
As eyes have never seen
Such pain
As has never been experienced

"I don't love you!" she screams
At the top of her lungs
But we both know she's lying

Now here I stand
A scorched and burned man
Smiling warmly all along

"There is nothing
I wouldn't do
To be with you
My love, so true"

Really awesome, powerful writing. And it does give that impression that the picture gives off. 5/5
