Fire Preserved
You asked to see my fire
The part of me
That burns red
Despite me not
Wanting to
Instead I froze the world
A crystal blue ball
Turning your breath
To liquid lace
In silver air
White faces look
Past each other
And still you stay
Take my hand
As I struggle between
Right and fair
You add your fire
To my frost
And somehow we
Is better than each
Neither melted nor frozen
We do more than survive
No sloppy seconds
Just a beautiful piece
Red and blue
