Almost
By ButterflyCity
you danced like ember
taking it's time to fall.
i was the ground, not moving,
ever so still...
holding my
breath, finding a
new way to breathe again
because you pulled
me into
this trance...
you ignited a flame without
ever touching me, you were
my yellow sun, and i was
.....earthbound..
too scared, too shy..
you cascaded to me..
while
i traced your dance
with my eyes, so beautiful,
teasing..
but you just faded.
faster than you caught flame.
and
i was just the ground,
never moving,
forever so still.
i just wanted to catch you.

Your imagery with the ashes, embers in motion, flame, I was truly captivated. I felt the fleeting moment at the end, it floors you. Great write.

So eager to go along. So eager to follow, and yet left behind for no good reason. That is the feeling this brings.. ^V^
