Spark

Your mind is like a cigarette
And your heart is like a tank of gasoline,
So who am I to pull the trigger?
And who are you to play with fire?
And who are we to take this squirming light
And paint the world with screams?

Interesting metaphoric language used in this one...Does the heart fuel the cigarette? Will the cigarette burn up and be nothing but ash? Many questions that your poem has raised...You should read mine ..."He Was Smoking Hot"..Great write..Sara
