Flame

Inside of me there’s a flame burning,
Flame that is ready to spread around.
This flame burns bright with feelings,
Burns with love that flows and abound.

Inside of me there’s a yearning,
For the so elusive human touch.
Love came where was missing,
Found when was searched.

Now when I’m left in the dark,
Inside myself I search again.
The cold that left me aghast
Was warmed by the flame.

The flame keeps warming my heart,
And love helps me understand.
When pain tears you apart,
Reach out and hold my hand.
