This vacancy started as a spark And my ignorance allowed it to grow Flames began to tear me apart And I was engulfed in much sorrow Sunlight was blackened by smoke The fire became rampant and wild It licked around my throat to choke Keeping me alone and defiled The night was meant to be cool But fire is eager to pursue and **** I reflect upon myself as a fool Easily giving away my power of will Soon there is not enough that remains Of myself for the fire to feast upon It dies down to ember from flame My spirit is virtually gone My hands are scorched to the bone But my soul holds the deadlier wound Yet the fire has left me alone I am certain I will heal again soon
