She....

She sits staring at a fire
Letting its warmth engulf her
She...
Is memorized
Her eyes dancing along
With the cunningly wicked
Intoxicating flames

As they writhe seductively
Drawing her further in
She...
Finds doubt
As it always does
Fear consumes her

Fear of pain
Fear of pleasure that
She...
Afraid to lose
Finds it easier
Not to feel

She...
Begins to withdraw
But wait
Hiding there
Within the flames
Reflecting in her eyes
She...
Find strength
