after the fire
After the fire has gone out, I look around at the ashes you have left in my
heart. Nothing remains but ashes; Ashes and lies. That was all you ever gave
me, more lies, fueling the fire that turned my emotions to dust. I shouldn't
have trusted you, but you beckoned me with your soothing words, your emotional
outbursts. You seemed sincere, with your tears, your thoughts, your emotions.
Each was a calculated action to lure me in, to burn away a little more of my
heart. You led me to think I was the first in your heart, first in your mind.
Now I see all the others you thought of before me. Was I simply a replacement
for those you could not have? You seemed romantic, kind, caring...
But it was false. Nothing but ashes. |
