They Let the House Burn

They let the house burnWith it holding all of their emotions.Their love was not predicatedOn their fondness for each otherOr lack thereof.The resentment between themStarted the spark.The heated arguments they hadFanned the flame.The absence of affection toward each otherSpread the fire.Fire consumed their loveAnd left it a simmering place of heatReady to be ignited againWith a simple look of displeasureOr word of hostility.
