Flame


All it takes is a successful strike

1

born into this world

I must eat I must satiate the craving

hungry

yes

hungry

I may be small but I have an appetite


2

feed me a log

the big ones are best

all those chemicals to feast on

and ignite me

you,

the feeder

care for me

and I eat

from you


3

I haven't been fed

in too long

if you don't care about me

release me

I promise not to take your house

please


4

I have shrunk in your ignorance

as I slowly smoulder on a branch

I am soon to return to the dust I have made

because of you

this is your fault

my death

is your fault


5

I am suffocating in this metal prison

I can see you stare at me

exploiting me for heat and light

jokes on you

I am soon taking my last breathe


6

I have returned to my destruction

disintrigrated myself into ash

I feasted upon the dead

until I joined them

goodbye
