Immolation

A fool returns to the fire, hands still burnt from an over-zealous reach. Enticed by the lapping flame, again he reaches for something which he knows will hurt him, and a lesson stands unlearned. Perhaps this irony dawns on him, or perhaps he is merely overcome by the urge to belong to something greater than himself, but this moth of a man staggers forwards towards a realization, and falls into the flames. Driven by a covetous desire, the fool fuels the blaze, but consumed by the conflagration, he ends up used. Just another expired life, smoldering its last mistake.
