Self Destruction

I watched in awe

as the flames danced

around us

almost as beautiful as

you were.

You decided to leave while

my attention was kept 

by the roaring reds and oranges, 

and the fire starting to die

without your oxygen 

feeding her.

I sat in the ashes with

the few embers that remained

But it didn't take long

for my tears to put

those out, too.
