Analysis of You Set The Flame



It was not me who came,
To set the flame.
Initiating,
The blazing of a disastrous fire.
You did that.
Not me.
With a wish to rid.
My peaceful life.

I gave you respect to give it.
And sincerity as well.
Unreturned.
Now it is you who burns.
Screaming as if,
Unfamiliar in your own created hell.
You set the flame.
Remember?

And I...
Wanted to stay and dwell,
Peacefully.
Yet you,
Came with intentions to end that.
Not to share but destroy.
Remember?
I do!
