When I looked up,
I saw the fire.
That madly burned; dripping in sulfur.
When I looked up,
I had had enough.
I knew too much about her.

Candles burning at both ends;
Watch the flames grow higher.
& Watch closely with one eye open as your pain begins to transpire.
Alone she walks to no end.
The paths she walked were hard & rough
As she walked away from the fire.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
