The Fire Within It starts with a little flicker,
Then a little flitter.
It’s okay, you didn’t notice it.
Then it’s a tiny flame. Before you know it,
it has become a huge fire.
It wasn’t your fault.
You didn’t realize it would be that massive.
All you did was soak the whole place with kerosene.
Then you lit up that cigarette,
and it "accidentally" fell from your fingers.
It fell a great distance
into a drop of kerosene that you spilled.
That little flame turned into an abyss of yellow and orange.
The fire invaded the whole area.
It wasn’t supposed to be there.
It had no right.
You had no right.
The whole place became something so unrecognizable.
I didn’t even recognize it.
Everyone and Everything ran and hid.
There was nothing in sight.
The place was so empty.
Do you understand what I’m saying?
You are the one that burned me.
Over years, you have been pouring that kerosene all over me.
Intentionally, or unintentionally...I don’t know
But you’re the one that did it.
Then one day,
You said something -- you lit the match.
You sent my heart, and my body, and my soul
Into that abyss.
I hated what I saw.
I hated what you made me become.
I’m lonely because of you.
You set me on fire,
And now there’s no one to put it out.
