Loving In the Fire: A Poem

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winthrop chapter.

Loving In The Fire

I’ve burned my fingers

Trying to love the fire

Some live in the embers

And you can’t tame the flames

 

He says he’s no good

That he’ll singe my heart

He doesn’t know,

All I have left is ash

 

He sends sparks right through me

Together we’ll dance in the heat

His heart may be darker than coal

But his spirit is as red as the fire

 

We feed each others flames

Until there’s nothing left to burn

And in the end

 

We’ll be nothing but smoke

Who says redheads have to have all the fun?
Winthrop University is a small, liberal arts college in Rock Hill, SC.
