Douse Emotional Flames

to douse the emotional flames 
became the aim over time 
the flames at first were 
not as high as they would become in the end
the flames became much more
violent as time went on 
in the beginning the flames 
were easy to extinguish
but over time they became 
to massive to contain 
till one day the flames 
turned into a tremendous
blaze that engulfed the land 
of possibilities till everything 
had perished
