never did come up with a good name for this one...

Like a god of fire
Every match starts proud, feirce, hot.
Once used thouroughly
They are cast aside, Forgotten.
Like a whore I knew.

A former member wrote: Wow. This is... powerful. I love how you use powerful words to get your point across: "god", "fierce", "hot". You gave the matches a vivid personality. I don't know if it was on purpose, but the capitalized "F" is really effective in emphasizing the word "Forgotten". The last line is astounding. Such a creative way to describe a person... Thanks for sharing!
