Douse

By Jake Bowser

 

 

Old scars peeling back and
big aspirations to love you
again have kept me from
blooming and sparking into
the wildfire I’ve been told I
can be
but you’re the one who told
me that you were water that
would inevitably douse my
flame and for some reason
I so desire that.

 

Jacob is a student at an arts high school in Pittsburgh PA who attends for writing all sorts of genres. His favorite, however, is poetry.
