two severed logs lay crisscross on one another
one takes to the spark much easier
and is engulfed in heat immediately
whereas the second log is still wet from the nights of weeping skies
the burning passion of the first’s is overbearing
and the second log smokes producing concerning steam
but soon sizzles
and finds the fire spreading overwhelmingly fast
and is soon fully engulfed in a naturally intense love that we all hope never burns out
but we all know
with someone so susceptible to destruction
ash is inevitable
