A Fire Ablaze
I want this feeling to burn
Like a fire within the forest
Uncontrollable and with only one variable
Wind
Wind is the very thing that can sway our love
This feeling manifested in us
Can only be changed by outside or underlying issues
Whether it be controlled or wild
It will always be there
And just when you think it is gone
You find out the power of the fire soon returns
Just when it is gone
It can awaken to reek havoc once again
This fire has become my friend
The soft amber ashes are remnants of all we were
All we were to be
All I wanted
But I became this fire
The very thing I was controlling
Soon controlled me
And after the fire had burned out
I too, and lost all
My soul was emptied of my previous passion
Of its previous excitement
Ambitions
Dreams
This fire inside me
That started ablaze
Disappeared when the wind died
Where inside me, do memories of you confide?
