Your burned me from the inside out,
now all that's left are ashes.

I felt the fire of desire,
but never did I question.
Just how these flames would leave me scorched
and desperate for salvation.

I was too young to comprehend
how high the flames would grow,
and over time I was
engulfed by your inferno.

I can't remember life inside the fire,
but I have the scars upon my skin,
as proof I've been to Hell and back,
as proof of our sin.

Despite these brands that mark me,
despite your haunting warmth that remains,
I'll find my way back to reality.
I'll find a way to live again.

You burned me from the inside out,
but I will rise from the ashes.
