Your use of language in this comes across as very well written, and the poem was engaging to read. Best of all, it didn't have a quality of being trite, despite the story not being particularly unique.
I, an outcast, and you, wildfire.
This is an excellent line. The choice of "wildfire", though unusual, fits perfectly; it sets the stage for our perspective of the lover.
Overall, I was impressed with how you wrote the poem; towards the end, in the final stanza, things begin to teeter slightly. The use of "smirk" is rather distracting and rather weakens the poem than strengthens it.
As for the story line, the themes of abuse, innocence, and sensuality had an authentic feel. However, (and this is personal preference, of course) the story did not really appeal to me.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
