Fireflower

You dance in the clouded night

Unaware that I want to be the one you dance beside

I watch with awe as you flow through the air

Unbridled by the natural faults of mortals

I know I can never be close to one such as you

The moment I approach 

your petals will wilt,

your smile will fade, 

your dancing will cease

I will continue to watch from afar

Careful not to stand too close

For the moment I step over the line

I will leave burnt
