All consuming fire

Sun, 08/24/2014 - 23:09 -- Ngraf97

Was I not there? Did I not see the signs?

maybe I didn't tell you I loved you enough

maybe I didn't tell you I cared about you enough

I remember the way your eyes lit up when they saw mine

What was this fire consuming you? Could I not help?

Was it so bad that you had to leave before you were completely engulfed?

what made you say 'done'? 

You fought for life but you gave up 

I was so mad at you, it could have been love 

This all consuming fire took you away from me

you are better now, not feeling charred and burned 

but the flames are left here for me, so fragile 

So hurt
