Hello Greenwich,
Nice to meet you. I am Amethyst, otherwise known as Liz (some on the internet might know me as poetprncess) I liked the meaning in your intent. I liked the simplicity and concise. It is the type of poem that with the right words can say so much, with such power in such little words.
The premise of fire/burn and other references that heighten that can bring this more toward the metaphor. Some suggestions, and please feel free to use or lose anything for your consideration.
Otherwise, I do like this. It is a small gem, that packs large imagery.
Best to you, Liz
