Spark

Engulfed by the mighty waves in your darkened sea
Cascading towards me, every crash in the surf causing ripples to expand
Drowning in the residual effects of your indifference and brutal wrath
What lingers causes us to decay
We never burn in the deadly inferno
That is surrounding us
It is the spark that is left behind
That ignites the fiery explosion
That we never anticipate
