If you compared her to a fire
you’d find they’re much the same
Her heart too hot to touch
the fire too wild to tame
But flame moves on with time
like she could never learn
She didn’t know to fade
she only knew to burn
She watched with deadly sorrow
as that flame soon learned to fly
her grief far too heavy
to be taken by the sky
So that little ember floated
straight to the nearest star
where it forgot the girl below
for it had flown too far
She longed to join its skyward home
among the deep dark night
but it’s hard to follow ashes
when a fire is still alight
