The Fire That Hurt Poem by Vera Sidhwa

The Fire That Hurt



The Fire that Hurt


I longed for you in so many different ways.
The fire scorched and scalded.
I brought that fire near to my soul.
I thought I brought it in my mind too.

This my fire burnt the prairies.
It scalded the desert black.
It ran through streets,
That turned a deep color.

But this burning was for you.
It was too much burning.
You became not a love.
You became an attachment.
