Ash

Driving the last nail  
into the bridge  
that leads to the town,  
she built for him.  
She looked up  
for his approval  
but he was nowhere  
and had been gone awhile.    
She is hurt to her core,  
than quickly incinerates    
all feelings she had for him.  
She pulls the Kerosene  
out of her shirt.  
She always keeps it  
close to her heart.  
Even before she crosses the structure,  
she sets it ablaze.  
Walking through her town,  
she lights each building.  
Down goes every;  
church, library and home.  
Along her freshly torched course  
and eyes full of sociopathy,  
she see's his face in her mind  
and burns that too.    
She never cries.  
She walks to the highest point  
in the city to watch the show.  
As she stands on her front row seat,  
She douses herself in gasoline.    
While bathing in the fumes,  
he walks up behind her.  
"I saw the smoke, so I came to see.    
Are these glorious flames for me?"
With the flattest of affect,    
she nods yes.  
Mesmerized by its beauty,  
his Pyro eyes laugh,  
admiring her destruction.  
He grabs her hand unwarrantedly.
"Thank You", he whispers.  
They stand hand locked  
and remain for a moment.  
He is still looking at her inferno,  
the Hell he painfully inspired,  
when without regret she kisses him  
and lights them both on fire.
