Meeting you felt like a spark

Kindling catching fire.

The catalyst that started it all.

Sparking ember; light flashes

Delight and glee at the power of it all.

Life starting.

As we picked up speed,

We lost control

We lost ourselves

We lost the magic.

The twinkle of possibility

Turned into fear

Of what we could become.

The fire was not contained.

It kept spreading

We did not how to slow it down

How to stop it

How to control it.

Molten lava dripped down

Leaving behind a barren mountain.

Burnt trees and homes

Destruction.

You loved me so fiercely that I burned,

Now you’ll only be left with ashes.

I hope you learned the risks of playing with fire.
