"Playing With Fire" is a poem that shows how one thinks the grass is greener, until the memories of his old life haunt him.

————

His passion freely given

to one who caught his eye,

playing on his every word,

tempting him with pleasures

like a child with a new toy.

Touching greener grass,

discarding the one who has his back,

suddenly his actions boomerang,

haunting him with memories,

shadows of the past.
