Girl of Fire

She was fire, burning, brightness. 

 "Watch me!" She called

 We watched as she grew, 

 "Watched out!" We cried.

 She didn't listen, 

 She even laughed as she started to die. 

 What once was the brightness was now only embers. 

 She seemed to forget, that fire, In all of its glorious brightness,

                                                                               Burns itself out in the end.
