Mood: Remorseful

We used her and tortured her.
We never expected her to burn.
We carelessly mixed chemicals because we could.
We watched as she survived the storm.
We lit off fireworks because we knew no one would stop us.
We observed the faulty wiring but did not feel it was worth the cost to repair.
She felt sick and quietly begged for help.
We did not hear her.
We were too busy using her beauty for our own benefit.
We believed she was strong, that she would live forever.
She was unable to survive the blast.
We did what we could but we could not save her.
It was too late.
But we will never learn.
