The Flame of Passion

My Life Alone

Elisa Ashley

You've turned your attentions elsewhere

Leaving me on my own

to fill the void

to lose my grasp on reality

i fill your place

with another

The flames kiss my tender skin

There is a singe of heat

the scent of burned hair

my skin turns red

and bubbles

my outside now matches my inside

all burned up and nothing without you

The pain inside took over

the pain outside balances it out

Can you count my tears

in the scars

in the burns

in the welts

can you count my tears

does it matter?
