PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I thought once you were the fire
That burned within my soul
That fueled my fury and rage
My sorrow and my love

I thought once you were the oxygen
That enraged the embers on
Sparked them to leap and jump
To die down and dream

I thought once you were the disease
That consumed me whole
That eradicated my existence
Took my self-awareness

I thought once you were many things
That I know now you are not
That I still wished you could be
Under the ashes of this all
