Flame

it was a beautiful flame
and it had to burn
the paper with our names
it had to wash away

each side of the coin shall always remain

I was...

drawn to this but wish that you had added a little more to the scenario. I got a flash of a relationship gone bad, but not why or
how, although the last line, suggests that personality issues were at hand. No matter, I appreciate the minimalist write as much as anyone but need a bit more to work with. Can you flesh it out, just a bit? You have a good base; I am sure that you will see what I mean. ~ Geezer.
