Tinder heart

My heart is a pile of tinder

A very tender pile

Crushed easily 

But just as easily 

Set ablaze

The smallest spark

Ignites the pitch and shavings

Such fire consumes 

Often I've been drawn

To other's sparks

Many times I've allowed them

To set me alight without asking

If they intend to add fuel

Often they never did

As they warmed themselves 

The fire slowly died 

Leaving this smoldering pile

In search of another tinder heart
