This is for Alixx, who did an amazing job at meeting her goals in Round 10!
Fire,
It spreads quickly,
Damaging everything in its path,
You know it's too late when you smell the smoke.
Smoke fills up the apartment now,
He doesn't seem to notice,
He's blind to it,
It doesn't affect him.
Fire is alluring,
It draws you in,
Then gives you no chance to escape,
It's terrifying.
His hair is like the fire,
Bright red,
Beautiful,
Mesmerising.
His personality like the flames,
Dangerous,
Full of Life,
Unstoppable.
I'm a moth,
I got drawn too close to the flame,
Unable to sense the danger,
Entranced by the beauty,
Seeing nothing else until it was too late.
He was full of life,
When we met,
Kind, Caring,
Beautiful in every single way.
I couldn't see it,
The danger wasn't there,
The smoke hadn't reached my nose yet,
By the time it had,
It was far too late.
He changed,
Once I got closer to him,
Destroyed whatever he could,
Leaving only misery behind him.
Fire is dangerous,
I just didn't think he would be,
I was wrong.
I'm a moth,
Trapped by the flames,
I can't escape,
Despite the best of efforts.
Fire dies out,
Once there are only ashes,
Soon that's all that'll be left.
I should have heeded it,
The nursery rhyme,
It's more true than I'd known,
This is it,
How it all ends.
Ashes,
Ashes,
We all fall down.
