The fire ever so bright

Dancing in the flames

The day turns to night

I’m afraid that I’ll get burned

You told me not to fear

But how can I not

When your hands

Bring pain

To my surface

The flames grow stronger

Burning me more

Your harsh words making me hate this dance

I beg you to stop

I wanna go back

Can we change the past

Please let me go

I plead but you won’t let me leave

I scream but you don’t hear a thing

I shatter but you don’t see

Deep down you are burning me

And you loved me so fiercely

That I burned

Now you’ll only be left with ashes

I am no longer a person

I am the pile of ashes you created

With your pride

And your anger

And your sacred rules

I have burned
