My Family

My father - 

like a fire on a cool, windless day

Hesitant at destruction 

but irreversibly devastating.

My mother -

like crisp parchment

Just waiting to be taken and set 

ablaze 

by the fiery inferno.

Owen -

I'm sorry for all those times I should have

 just 

said

"I'm sorry"
