Flame

Lisa Stanley

The fire's embers

Ignites from ashes once

Blackened to the ground

The smoke swirls

And stirs in motion

The oxygen to power its flame

You tried to extinguish the raging fire

To never feel the burning again

Forgot the ember still lingered

Waiting for death to come

Forgot the spark was fragile and tempted

Because it had been so long

Now the flames of desire consume you

To Ashes
