Your warmth is good to me
Yet if I get to close you burn me
Oh how I desire you in my life
But you hate me and all that I have done
All my accomplishments you burned up
What have I done to deserve such treatment from you?
I have given you nothing but love
In your case you have taken it as fuel for your raging inferno
You eat up anything that comes into your path
You are growing larger and more dangerous to those around you
I shield my face from you because you have become too hot for one to look on
I once settled into your warm glow
Now I am running for my life away from your horrible fury
Oh fire how I wish you would return to what you once were
I cannot be near you any longer
For you have burned me and everything else I have ever loved
I run into the cold to escape you
Though the cold be dangerous
You are more the threat than anything that I have ever faced
For something you trust you let your guard down
And that will be the death of me
To survive I must run to keep from fueling you
Burn fire burn, burn until you burn out
This is inspired by my brother, isn't it? XD kidding!

In all seriousness, this is great. I love how your metaphors are very well thought out and carried through to the end.
