They let the house burn
With it holding all of their emotions.
Their love was not predicated
On their fondness for each other
Or lack thereof.
The resentment between them
Started the spark.
The heated arguments they had
Fanned the flame.
The absence of affection toward each other
Spread the fire.
Fire consumed their love
And left it a simmering place of heat
Ready to be ignited again
With a simple look of displeasure
Or word of hostility.
