untitled (consumed by the fire)

by Jada Andrews - Capricorn

Consumed by the fire and shook by the pain
that's eating my heart and consuming my brain
thrust into darkness, afraid and alone
bleeding my hope and my happiness gone.
Give up my smile, give up the sun
give up my hope that for me there's "the one"
who will take all this hurt, so I can be free,
give light to my dark and save me from me.
But my scars will remain, and my heart is not here
and still in my life there is so much to fear
for with no one to save me I'm slipping so fast
and I don't know how much longer my poor heart can last,
so I cast myself into the perilous flame
and retract into darkness from whence I came...
