Incendiary Insanity


It was far from being a match made in Heaven
More so like a match that ignited the fires in Hell
We took turns playing arsonist
Setting love ablaze
Our memories broken branches used for kindling 
Torn from the trees of suspicion 
We accepted the fate of the flames we ignited 
Lunacy that burned woodlands of our passion. 

She said it was okay we were both crazy 
We just couldn't be crazy at the same time.
Our madness combined would ignite an inferno  
Flames scorching forests of our souls.
Lighting a path to a future of ashes.
The heat from a fire leaving both of us cold.
