A Friend in the Games
I bring my hands up to the flame
Enjoying the heat
And watching the shadows dance around them
The colors run across my arms
Orange and black pour like a water fall
in every direction
fighting to gain power over the other
I bring my hands closer
Trying to shut out the cold surrounding me
Letting the heat flow through my veins
A smile spreads across my face
Almost as warm as the flame
And let out a breath
Visible and warm
The flame protects me, hugs me close
Shielding me from the approaching winter
And asks for nothing in return
Just like a friend
