A Mineral
I was fire.
You, water.
I boiled you.
You put me out.
I was light.
You, darkness.
I gave you my energy.
You snuffed me out.
I was dirt.
You, wind.
I dirtied your presence.
You blew me away.
I was the stars.
You, the universe.
I was a small part of you.
You were my world.
I cared.
You, didn’t.
I still care.
You still don’t.
