wildfire.

by ron-mckenzie

wildfire. the more my love grew for you, the more you ran away from me. protect yourself. runaway and seek shelter. pack your things, evacuate and move on. how you suffered until you couldn't bare it anymore. you left me alone to burn, consumed by my own flame. i tried to understand, but I can't. for you could not love me the way I loved you. but my love was true, and for you. you tried to put out my fire, now I realize you couldn't handle the everlasting flame of my love. my love was the fire. you were frightened by the thought of being swallowed by the heat of my flame. i was only trying to love you. you didn't want to get burned. you couldn't embrace my feelings. you ran. you ran away from me. i thought i was the light of your days. but all i brought was darkness. i thought i was giving you love. but all I gave you was agony. my flame gave off dark and hazy smoke, that blinded you. my love was a wildfire.
