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.
