At times it may be beautiful,
but at times you will get burned,
you may get lost in the sight,
and have no where to turn.
If you get to close and something goes wrong,
it can leave a scar,
at times it can be so big,
you can sense it from afar.
its a force that is hard to stop,
and can change some peoples lives.
so you grab the things closest to your heart,
and hold onto them tight.
comparing love to fire

love is like a...
I loved you; even now I may confess,
Some embers of my love their fire retain;
But do not let it cause you more distress,
I do not want to sadden you again.
Hopeless and tonguetied, yet I loved you dearly
With pangs the jealous and the timid know;
So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely,
I pray God grant another love you so.
-Alexander Pushkin. www.poetry.com
