Analysis of The Fire
What if I started that fire?
A fire that burned hotter than the sun 6-fold.
A fire glowing with the light of my love for her.
A fire of burning passion in which she had been engulfed.
A fire that sparked a fire inside her heart.
A fire that, in the end, turned my heart to ash.
A fire she used to start another, with another.
What if I started THAT fire?
