Dust and Ash
A fire burns,
Bright inside,
My heart is where this flame resides.
When it's heated,
My cheeks will glow.
When you hurt me you will know.
My smile will fade,
I'll look away.
And then pretend that I'm ok.
But actually,
Inside me,
The flame will glow more intensely.
Until I'm consumed,
In its pain.
Until I am no longer sane.
It will feast on me,
Till nothing lasts,
But just a pile, of dust and ash.
