Burn
You lit the match.
I watched the sparks.
They flew around me
until you saw me.
I was burning bright.
You had me hot.
I was for you.
My heart was too.
You lit my fire.
You had me going.
My flames grew high
and my hopes did too.
You burned right through
the walls I built.
They started to fall
like I did for you.
You lit my heart.
I couldn’t stop smiling.
I thought it was right.
Thought I had found
something new. The dust
flew off me. The ashes
from my past that burned
started to drift away.
You put me out.
The ashes twirled around.
You changed directions.
I was brought back down
like the ashes; they
covered me.
They replayed what I had
gone
through before. Tears
trickled;
simmered my burning
heart.
Sparkle & Shine.
