Reminiscent Flames
You set a fire in me
But you didn't do it for me, you did it for yourself
I burned bright and warm for you
I let the fire consume me
But like all fires I burned out so you left.
It was dark again and I was alone
Mom always warned me about getting too close
The darkness was pure agony
As the months passed however I began to see the light
I will burn again but not for you or anyone else
I will burn bright and warm for myself
I do not need anyone to give me life
I give life to myself
I never want to be engulfed in someone's fire like that ever again
Burning for someone else is self destructive and I refuse to self destruct again
I will burn again and you will feel my warmth but if you ever try to get close to me again I will burn you
I am my own fire
I will pick myself up and only start fires for myself from now on
My fire has only just begun.
