Fires
May 28, 2014
Fire,
scroching flames burning inside my heart, but when extinguished they become nothing but ash.
Black ash that stains you when touched,
touched with the burning pain of heart ache,
an ache that kills you inside no matter how hard you try to wipe it away.
iIt leaves marks,
permanent marks that scar you like your first tattoo.
All for it in the beginnin but after time you're tired of always being marjed.
But maybe one day it can turn out to be a good thing,
so good that nothing can put out those flames.
