Flames

Flames of passion, flames of war

The flames which leave no more

Eternally growing and consuming

Leaving the ashes of your being

 

Flames of truth, flames of justice

Their heat reaching towards bliss

Doomed to fade into a dying ember

Until there is nothing of it to remember

 

Sullen and dull, a frozen hearth

Fractured and now a broken heart

Whose ghost of will strives to exist

No purpose and lost, unable to reminisce 

Burnt matches, a wall meant to be a door

A flame absorbing its light, now no more
