Triggering a sudden attraction
I quickly became
a moth to a flame.
Though for a long time
I didn’t realize
just how drawn in I was,
or why.
Setting within me
a smoldering deep fire
with the intenseness
of your eyes, your curiosity.
For the briefest moment in time
it was the most intriguing,
improbable,
breathless,
grasping,
passionate,
animalistic,
rollercoaster,
of a relationship.
But we both had left relationships,
that singed us severely.
Making this romantic encounter,
too dangerous of a game.
Again, left playing with
the flames of a fire.
Just waiting to be burned.
