Firewood

I set a fire in your eyes
To keep both of us warm,
You were so cold.
I do not apologize for using
The way I feel about you
For firewood.
I’ll never forget the way you
Made me feel or the way
You quickly ran towards
The burning wood.
To wander the wilderness
In search of that light
That shines from a distance.
Civilization suddenly
Doesn’t seem so far
