Burning
Every second of every day
is consumed by burning.
It's what people do,
something we all have in common.
We burn with passion,
anger, desire, regret.
Even our tears cannot
extinguish our burning.
We burn brightly
because we are temporary.
We burn everything we have
from the inside out,
then implode,
like a human super nova.
And then the burning is gone
leaving behind a cold husk
that's nothing like what we were
when we were still burning.

Notes: So, I couldn't think of any prompts that I had failed to write to that I wanted to write, so I decided to revisit the elemental prompt and take on a new element. I did water the first time, so I decided to tackle fire this time around.
