Slow Burn

I didn’t notice it at first

The small burn on my arm

From building the fire

That kept us both warm

It didn’t hurt at first

But over time it swelled

It got infected

Hurting at the slightest movement

And I have learned

As I bandage my crippled arm

That I should have been more careful

The fire was never worth it
