Guess the title of this new poem in a COMMENT.

Warm now.
At first it scalded
Satisfied a deep need.
The burn felt good—
A remembrance of life,
A promise of excitement
And energy,
Until that ambience died
OR WAS DISAPPEARED.

Greedy mouths turn it tepid,
Bitter and dissatisfying
In too short a time.
Still, trapped in its own
Memory, the lingering idea
Of comfort and wonder,
Cling on until the last drop
Turns to ash.
Cold now.
