Love's Fire

by Baby Rainbow   Dec 23, 2014


The fire in her heart
was getting closer,
but as she stopped
to catch her breath,
she looked back
and wondered if
she would ever see
your face again.

It hurts too much
to keep holding on,
when the person
you are holding onto,
is letting go of you.

And in that moment
she studies her options
and tries to decide
which will hurt less:

walking away from you,
or burning inside the fire.

    Love has a way to lift you up then a way to let you down but for some reason love is a feeling that cannot be forgotten or let go off. It always remains.

    This write speaks of holding onto the love that needs to be let go off; but what hurts more is that you know you need to let go but can't. This struggle is clearly felt by the reader therefore makes it hurt...touching.

    The first stanza does a great job in detailing and setting up the poem. This person is wondering if they will ever see their lovers face again. That fire that rages on in her heart is growing closer but it seems like you cannot do anything about it. You grow more tired of running but the fire just keeps spreading closer to you.

    It does hurt to keep holding onto the person you love for it is a pain that grows stronger with time. This person is letting you go and sometimes that pain grows and hurts more than loving someone who does not want you. The heart does not seem to listen though as it falls in love and doesn't want to let go.

    Which one will be the lesser of two evils, to burn or to let go? In that moment you are the only one who can decide what is the right choice. It's a difficult choice that no one should ever have to make. But this was a well structured poem. I think a lot of people have or can relate to this. 5/5
