A Pleasure to Burn

Theres a fine line between pain and pleasure

You see

People always warn you about the pain

The intense pain

To disintegrate into ash

But what they don't tell you is

Once the fire begins to crackle

And the initial feeling of shock disappears

It’s quite peaceful

Because for a moment

Just a moment

The world is quiet

And it almost feels safe

And all the anger

And the hurt

And everything you want to forget 

It all just vanishes
Its almost as if your not slowly fading away

But just as fast as it came

It’s gone 

And all your left with is a shell of what once was
