Fire of My Own Destruction

If cards could burn

From tables spun

I'd be engulfed

In flames, be done


But yet I'm here

Bring fourth the fire

To shine a spark

On new desires


I'll be the glow

to save my soul

And yours as well

From depths like my

Personal Hell


The side effects

Are quite severe

Almost was I

in a bier


But underneath

Cardiac cartilage 

The pink is charred

Healing with it


The pain of flames

The pain of Hell

scorching my heart

Reminds myself


These wounds sprung from

Someone's cruel fire

Though the one in my heart

of hopeful desire

Scorches their burn

The lesson be learned


Even when coated in gasoline

The match of destruction ends with me
