Two Faced Flames

When we first met,
I could see a pain burning in your eyes,
and all I wanted to do was extinguish the flames.

I didn't see you as broken -
nor something that I needed to fix,
but all the same, I never judged you
or tried to change you,
I happily accepted what I saw.

Maybe my mistake was believing
that you would do the same with me?
