A fire once done doesn't unburn,

nothing can return at all.

I couldn't extinguish the inferno

and if wishing were water

it still wouldn't matter,

it couldn't exchange my now for another.

Even returning to the vulnerable spark

which introduced light to the dark,

I can't affect the progression rate,

the incineration is just too great.

Could I alter the fuel, change it's fate?

No, sadly it's all too late.

My life is grey ash and there's no one to blame

only the inexorable flame.
