Pyrophobia
I get unusual attractions
I don’t find everyone interesting
But there were some with a mysterious pull
I was drawn to your fire
I’m afraid that I will still be
Every one of them had a similar flame to yours
But only temporal
It was the warmth that you ignite that I wanted
I got something familiar
But it was never the same
And I’ve got no one else to blame
I will forever bear the shame
I’ve lost the heat of your love
Only music makes me feel your presence now
I close my eyes just to feel you close to me
Whenever I open them, I see you, but not really
You’ll forever be a part of who I am
And there will be parts that I can never be
It was not just a question of courage
It was a riddle of what I could and couldn’t give
It was never a question of you
Never doubt yourself
It was and will always be a question of me
I had to deal with the demons within my self

Music can transport you to different times in your life. It’s interesting to see it sometimes.
This is a beautiful and also an emotional poem! Have you considered publishing your poem into a book?
We have all felt that pull. Very well written, and easy to relate to for all.
Profound. I honestly don’t try too hard to understand poems for fear that I might interpret it wrong. Each one poem is beautiful though because it gives you a peek into another person’s thoughts and emotions.
Beautifully poetic – something different to read 🙂
Those are really beautiful lines. Deep and unforgettable.
Very well written poem, it was nice to read .
Thank you!
Just amazing!!! I close my eyes just to feel you close to me whenever I open them, I see you, but not really. This is so beautiful.
I never heard of pyrophobia and I never realised that this could be something that people experience, it takes a special gift to write poems so well done at writing this one.
Beautiful lines! Sometimes people come into our lives to teach us lessons and then they leave.
Beautiful poem! It’s deep and meaningful. Thank you for sharing it with us. I can totally relate.
you write poetry so well! such a beautiful and deep poem. I loved it
Beautiful poem. I think it’s true that it’s never about ‘them’ it’s almost always about ‘us’. We have to satiate our own demons.
Very nice. It can be seen and thought in many ways. Kind of witty too! Great job!
Beautiful poem. Very poignant and soulful. Always happy to come across works by young poets making their mark.
I enjoyed every word in this poem, very happy that I came across this. Where are you getting your inspiration to write?
Glad that you did. Mostly from my experiences. And just add some twists at times. 🙂
Just wow, you have always been my inspiration. And I felt every word!
Thanks, Moni! So sweet of you. 🖤
Beautifully written! thanks for sharing your poetic views with all of us
wah such a beautiful poem. you have great skill, keep writing. and ofcouse thanks for sharing.
Enjoying your poems — you have a nice way of sharing what you feel. Take care of playing with fire 😉 We can be drawn in for warmth, but make sure not to get burnt!
“I’ve lost the heat of your love Only music makes me feel your presence now” That hit me hard. Songs have a way of bringing back the memories of past loves.
Such a beautiful and emotional poem, I have enjoyed it so much! Music transports you through the time.
No one wants to to touch the fire and get burned, but we sometimes risk it anyways. I gues we learn the hard way. Either that, or we never learn, at all.
What an amazing poem, it is so written. And it is totally relatable!
Wonderful poem 🙂 definitely can relate to gettingburnt
What a beautiful poem! Loved it. Words put together so perfectly.
Such a beautiful powerful flaming poem. Love it
