Bonfire Maze

I think that Life's way is well illuminated
Go ahead and ask the flames  
where your walk is headed
My path is built of shame and memories  
that have gone wasted
 
Now I look ahead
since what lies behind  
has already faded
Burned fingertips that graze the edges
Just me and my empty box of matches.
