Fire

My love for you burns like a wildfire.

Spreading from my chest.

Sparked by my heart.

Jumping and leaping.

Limb to limb.

Disintegrating all emotion from my body.

It burns up my mind.

Feeding on my dry desolate thoughts of abandonment.

I tried to save me.

Extinguish the fire with tears.

It served only to delay the inevitable.

Causing the blaze to smolder in my sodden chest.

Left behind is an ashen husk.

The false form of a human.

One touch and the seemingly solid form collapses.

Perhaps these ashes will nourish another.

May a tree of hope rise up!

This destruction fertilizes the next love.
