Fire and Petrol. A rhyming verse poem.
As soon as we met, it was like fireworks.
I didn't yet believe that all guys were jerks.
Your smile alone, made my heart skip a beat.
Now here we are, staring at each other in defeat.
Fire and petrol.. What a dangerous mix.
I didn't think I'd fall victim to you or your tricks.
You were my light a darkened room.
Little did we know, it would all blow up in our faces soon.
With every fight.. We were drawn back together.
Like a life support, we were each others tether.
When that tether snapped, we were consumed by the fire.
The more we fought, the more the flames built, higher and higher.
We never realized how toxic we were
That time in my life, is now becoming a blur.
Fire and petrol.. It was to much for us to handle.
You no longer light my way.. No longer my candle.
For we go it alone now, our fire to much to tame.
And when I look back to that night, it isn't you I blame.
Some people in life, cause an explosion to big to stop.
At the end of all the pointless fights, no one ever came out on top.
We shared something real, even if it ended in ashes.
But, as they say, lightening doesn't always strike, sometimes it crashes.

Thank you so much for reading!
I really like this poem. I feel like it describes a relationship I used to have perfectly. I'm pretty sure, a lot of people have been in similar ones and would be able to relate as well :)
