Untitled ————-

You were the catalyst for a single flame,
Which began as a small match,
Taken to a fallen leaf tainted with rain.

The flame carried a heart,
On a ravenous adventure,
Enveloping twigs,
Then trees,
Attempting to singe away parts of me.

What appeared as a beautiful array,
Underneath is full of ashes and shame.

But the heart, brawnier than fire,
Escaped from events that did transpire,
Unscathed by the mindless twig,
That tried to envelope a heart in flames.
