First Love

It was only when
you grabbed my shoulders and threw
me to your fire,
that I found the smell of
coal so addictive.

    I love this, it is short but yet so powerful that it deserves a closer look,

    this is how it reads to me,

    I like how you start as if you are realising something, like you are wise after the event, this suggests to me that it is now too late, maybe you were not as mature then, or didn't see things so clearly.
    Interesting that you chose shoulders, this shows a strength and love for you, he didn't grab you around the neck, or push you, he grabbed you and threw you to his fire, sounds almost like he was pulling you but it works in a dream like way.

    You found the smell of coal addictive, this suggests to me that you enjoyed the passion you shared, it may have been wrong. you may have needed encouragement from him, yet you couldn't get enough.
    As it is written in past tense this suggests that you miss this time of your life.

    great write Noura
