Baggage mountain

Hurt piled upon hurt

Wound layered upon wound

I seethed

With words unsaid

Actions never begun

Just a seething

Just a raging flame

That i fanned

Until it grew and grew

And i glowed from the inside

All along

I waited

For something

Someone

The answer

To the flame

Apparently it was

All for you

So that you would

Come and

Not necessarily

Salve those wounds

Or heal those hurts

Or douse those flames

But so that

I could scorch you

With the fire

Burn one person

With the fire

Fed by

All of humanity

For eternity

(No apology

Is ever enough)
