Sparked
curiosity,
is what started it
sparked like a broken outlet on the wall

wondering how far it could go
knowing it wasnt normal,

but it was just a thought
it wouldnt hurt
it couldnt kill

right?

wrong.

the fate was inevitable
you cant change destiny,

cursed by the cat
it was bound to happen

Burn
the once flickering flame became steady,
it always held the power to burn everything down,
it was only a matter of time before it got out of control

the only way to prevent it was for it to be
watched
cared for

no one was there to do that,

no one could bear the heat
no one was willing to share the pain,

so wild it became
tearing down anything in its path
no longer able to control itself

as the anger grew
so did the supply

the journey only growing easier
the damage only growing greater

until it reached the end
nothing else left to take
it died down and realized,

the only thing left was ashes

cold
grey
ashes

was it worth it?

too late for regrets now.
