The Aftermath

by Jill - Aquarius

Decadent spiral
Forgotful past
Burning desire
Burning fast

Thoughts of angst
And raging shame
Thoughts of pity
And I'm to blame

So I light my torch
And I hold it high
I kissed the flame
And released a sigh

I'm a burnt child
A deciept of pain
I love the fire
I burn my shame

Once it's out
And long faded
I sit alone
Completely jaded

Reason for writing:

    I'm not quite sure. I just write whatever comes to mind.
