Chapter 25 - THE FIRE KNOWS YOUR NAME

The day I laid my eyes on you I was doomed

Trapped like a ranger in a fire with no escape

Because at every turn it was you

The flames had your eyes, your smile, your face

Trapping me in your grace

The smoke hissed your name

Engraving it at the forefront of my brain

A constant reminder that for me it's only ever been you

The one I crave and desire beyond measure

The only ember my heart refuses to smother

No matter how much I tried to escape

The fire seared you into my brain,

My heart,

My soul,

Proving to me that without you I can't be whole

So every fragment of you I'll greedily consume

Even though it feels like inhaling fumes

Each tearing a part of my soul

Stripping me bare to bone

Constricting my lungs against the oxygen of sanity

Leaving me at war with my own humanity

I crave you even if it burns

I'd turn to ashes if it means I could have you

I'm willing to lose my heart as long as I own yours

You're the one I want even if it means I'd burn for all eternity
