The fire caught on with me.
•
At first
I didn’t pay any heed
It was far away
For me to even care.
•
I tried ignoring the flames
As they burned every solid thing down
It spread, I did not expect this
I walked on
Instead.
•
The fire was on my steps
It had chased me down
I could feel the scorching heat
It felt too close for comfort
Too strong to ignore.
•
I’d lost my way
I’d let the fire fester for too long
Set ablaze
These flames won’t die down.
•
You were it,
The fire that I’d tried to escape,
I am forced to make peace with it,
That I’d never escape.
