Fire

parents say don’t play with fire 
they tell you that the fire burns
the burn is nothing compared to my pain
and yet even in the rain
i can still feel the burn 
of anything and everything
that touches my skin or my heart
with the pain i will never part
this is not meant to rhyme 
yet it seems to at this time
its meant to express my pain
but the burn will still remain
i’m a poet but not very good 
yet i wish that i could
write a poem that makes sense
without it being at my expense
oh well
