self indulgent teenage-style poem needed to spew out.

I would have given myself completely and the past would have seemed as irrelevant as our hypothetical future is now. You unearthed something dead breathed life back in then left the foetal flame to burn out leaving poison behind.

nice, but metaphors are supposed to track and flames burning out do not leave poison behind.
