POEM STARTER

'Every tear you shed sparks a fire in my chest.'

Write a poem opening or concluding with this line.

Candle

Every tear you shed sparks a fire in my chest,

Like a candle desperately seeking revenge.

The water pouring from your face

Only makes the anger in me grow.


Whoever has done this horrible thing to you,

I shall set this candle in their house,

Until the fire has either grown too large

Or until it knocks over.


I would kill anyone for you,

And do it without a second thought.


If only you loved me so

And didn’t constantly put the candle out,

Maybe you would find

A life of happiness.
