He Loved the Fire

He loved the fire
Entranced by it’s dance
The back and forth motion
A scorching, romance

I was the ember
She, the flame
I was loyal and fierce
She was hard to attain

His eyes were fixed
On her fickle flow
He watched her transform 
As I burned, down below

I fueled her motion
She swayed to the beat
She was just an illusion
I was concrete
