Extinguish

Her heart was a burning fire

Fed each day by love and fear

Blackened by her intensity

Searing any who came near

 

Flames shot out with fury

She burned your name away

Into the coals of her fiery heart

Where your memory will stay

 

The heat grew stronger daily

Bending steel keeping it from harm

Discoloring, breaking, ruining

Setting off her internal alarm

 

She burned out some time ago

The beating extinguished by power

But she's still smoldering somewhere

With far less for her to devour.
