It started with a match

By Eagle

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

And She watched And she saw it burn to the ground She knew he was inside Knew all the things she'd never said And there were ashes in her hair And the dust blew in her eyes and set them ablaze She knew that he dying Knew that she couldn't save him this time It started with a match That simply lit a candle That just slid right off the table Then a rug began to burn And soon so did the walls Shortly he had waken And soonder he had died And she looked at the pile of rubble left over and her shoes were now black with dust and ashes He wasn't ever coming back, She knew And she had never said "I love you" Written April 7th, 2002 © on Apr 07 2002 02:40 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
