Gasoline

From oneword.com. Only had one minute to write it, so it may suck, but those are the rules of the contest. Enjoy the brief, funkness!

A flame, like a match, on a puddle of gasoline.

My life, a kindle of a candle, always lighting, always dying.

The knife, the flame, lighting gasoline, myself, on fire.

My heart aflame, my thoughts burnt to crisps, dripping in blood,

In the gasoline that began this fire, this regret, the destruction of my memories.

This only took one minute for you to write? How do you do it? I love writing, but I over-analyze everything. Something this wonderful would take me about an hour to write. "lighting gasoline, myself, on fire." Please don't set yourself on fire, I want to see more amazing writing from you.

Considering you wrote this in one minute, this is very good. It didn't really flow well that is to be expected within one minute. This was a very interesting read though.

You've outdone yourself here.
