The Fire

I lost so much in that fire.

My feet are scorched and I can't believe I burned it all down.

No love could survive that inferno.

I tore down the castle with one burst of pain and fury.

Oh lord, I didn't see that storm coming...

Nothing left but the skeletons of what seemed to be before the hurricane.

I lost so much in that fire.

My heart empty and I can't seem to find the reason for it all.

No meaning other than the mechanics of this artful display of vacancy.

I keep running into this wall and the sting never seems to leave me

I guess I wanted to think you would bring something more than this numbing shadow of complacency.

Even in the flames, the heat of destruction nothing seems to bleed nothing.

Some sincere questioning of fire, firestorms, difficulties in life. I hope you can find some answers.
