Flame Inside

What started as a spark, tiny
and insignificant
Grew
It grew into a wee flame
a flame that kept my heart warm
kept me alive
But if you feed the fire
it will grow still
More and more it grows
and the flame is no more
A raging inferno
consuming everything it touches
until there is nothing left
of me
A pile of ashes is all
you've left inside of me
and I grow cold
am no more
flame died
so did I
