A tiny spark emerged
From out of nowhere
Stomped out repeatedly
First by her
And then by me
But it refused to flicker out
It grew into a flame
We fanned the flame
She and I
Until it consumed away
Both our walls
I was covered in gasoline
And I loved it
Like a raging forest fire
It burned a permanent trail
Across the terrain of my heart
But, alas, it burned so quickly
And so fiercely
That it burned itself out
And now...
I sift through the ashes
Frantic, so frantic
Almost desperate
Looking for something...
Anything...
To keep, to hold on to, to cherish
But nothing remains
There's nothing left but ash
I bring my soot-covered hands
To my face
And I weep
And though I'm now left with nothing
But charred memories
And although I am empty inside
I wouldn't have changed a thing
Or missed it for the world.

This is pretty good stuff, I feel very identified with this, as I'm more or less like that when it comes to feelings...

Thanks for sharing your writings Randall

And now I'm back onto my cave...

See ya

Powerful...loved the fire analogy. Pain and scars, but worth the journey
