I am an empty vessel
You have taken all I had left
To give
Closed off and unsure
The gates had creaked open
Just a crack of darkness peering through
As a match was thrown in
Igniting everything in sight
Tearing down walls
Burning through dust
Bleeding with fire and ash
I escaped
I wish I could say unscathed
But now I bleed that fire and ash
I try to rebuild the walls that have crashed down onto me
Walking through the rubble
I look at my feet
There is the match
It’s small and almost insignificant
But it has done so much damage
