Past fires That left scars that go past the bones And fear fresh in the blood The only remedy Is pride and coldness- But one got through As far as one could go Further than anyone before Well Almost anyone And you stop her there Affraid what will happen If you care again If once again You become vulnerable To possible fires- But so caught up in the fear of fire You forget the prospect Of contentment and rain of happiness. Just keep in mind It's not the fear of fire That is keeping you from the rain But the smoke inside of you Holding your pride- You say you want to love To find another one- News flash- They can't get through the smoke In your head.Birth sign: Gemini
