Don't
August 13, 2015
"Don't touch the fire" they said
"You'll burn yourself" they said
But the amber glow is quite enticing no?
"Don't touch the glass" they said
"You'll cut yourself" they said
But the gleam of the shatter is appealing no?
"Don't talk so loudly" they said
"You'll wake up the other voices" they said
But the sound of my own voice is already a soft whisper
"Don't you dare fall in love" they said
"You'll hurt yourself too much" they said
But the pounding of my heart has already halted
