Have you ever gotten burned by fire? Well I know I have. Venomous, poisonous, hateful words, fell straight from her lips and landed in my core. Like a soldier who stood tall for so long, I was shot down. My reaction, silence. I no longer saw her as the fire who no one couldn't stop, but rather the fire who no one could put out. Her words, her actions consumed me. I the forest, and she the fire. This combustion only left wreckage. Just as her carbon took my oxygen, her anger took my sanity. There are days I want nothing more than to return to the past. Forgive. I'm not there yet, For every time I approach trying to go back; I think, Have you ever gotten burned by fire? Well I know I have.

How to Get Burned By Fire.
Have you ever gotten burned by fire? Well I know I have. Venomous, poisonous, hateful words, fell straight from her lips and landed in my core. Like a soldier who stood tall for so long, I was shot down. My reaction, silence. I no longer saw her as the fire who no one couldn't stop, but rather the fire who no one could put out. Her words, her actions consumed me. I the forest, and she the fire. This combustion only left wreckage. Just as her carbon took my oxygen, her anger took my sanity. There are days I want nothing more than to return to the past. Forgive. I'm not there yet, For every time I approach trying to go back; I think, Have you ever gotten burned by fire? Well I know I have.
