BURN

its funny how you walked into my life and ignited the fire in my heart.
then when things got too hot, you walked out and left me to burn alone.
the warm embers left behind burning deep into my flesh.
you just stood there and watched my heart burn to ash with this fire that you started in me...
I was a giant campfire radiating all my heat your way,
but you didn't see that I was slowly running out of wood to feed the dancing flame.
you didn't see until it was too late.
I was burned out.
Extinguished.
the remains of me left singed.
begging to be relinquished.
Your anger was like a volcano.
Building pressure until it explodes.
Sending clouds of dust into the skies.
Clouds so thick...
It covers up all the lies.
The fire you ignited in me burned me from the inside out.
The flame you lighted in me burned from my toes to my mouth.
My body nothing but a barren wasteland of debris.
Now I look inside me and try to fix all the parts of me that you did not obliterate.
