The Flame

THE FLAME

It's a dangerous game to play                                   
I struggle each and every day
I tiptoe around                                                  
I have questions abound
Too afraid to ask  
My feelings would be unmasked

So I will stay quiet
And  keep my thoughts private
No longer a game
But a red burning flame                                   
                                    
The flame will  extinguish
Feelings will diminish
The memory  will fade
 But will always remain
