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

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
