There is a fire burning inside of us, and there are of course going to be those people that want to put it out but as long as we know who we are they don't stand a chance.

This goes to prove
Love isn't true.
But I'll keep it with me.
I'll keep you with me.
I'll scream to you in silence.
I will cry to you in silence.
I want to love you.
But this goes to prove,
You can't wrap your arms around something...
that never was.

The author's comments:
This is one of my shortest poems, but I was inspired to write it because a personal experience I've been through when my ex-crush insulted me.
