On Fire

A Poem by Tiffany M. Sinclair

I look to the sky, on my knees, tears burning down my face as I lament over you.

Would you miss my burning love?

Would you remember me as the one who'd burn for you? Even though you did not appreciate the love I had for you?

Would you think of me, would you miss my face, my burning touch, my laughter, my kindness and my voice?

I wonder all these things, I loved you with my entire being, I'd go through anything for you.

Is this what I am given in return? You left me all alone. You did not stay by my side.

My aching heart burned for you, causing me such pain, I could no longer take it.

I Leaped into the flames but I did not burn, Why oh why did I not burn away? Oh how I wished for my life to end in the flames. I wondered all that time that I suffered in pain.

Now As I stretch my arms out, I look at my body as it ignites into flames coursing down my arms to my hands and fingers burning away the pain of your memories, I feel no pain, I feel so much more now that the fire has taken over.

I will always love you, even though my body burns it all away, I will never feel pain for you again. The fire consumes my anguish, but you will not share a place in my heart anymore. I'm on fire, won't let you take my soul with dark fire.

Now I burn with the fires of freedom. I will take my fire and my love and will keep it for you no more but for another.
