This Fire

Written By Gloria Nyagaka

You don't understand
I'm thankful,
To you, but this feel
This emptiness
That now you call,
Me a fool,
I feel,
I am full.
I feel.

I am thankful,
To you,
For making me feel,
This fire
Again.
You don't understand,
Perhaps, I'm a fool
Or you are a fool
Perhaps, I didn't love you.
But I loved the fire,
You lit in me again.
