Warmth is what brought me to you. You seemed to be warm and inviting.
You were not.
You happened to be fire and you burned me in ways I couldn't have imagined.
I had been set alight by you.
Burned in ways I couldn't see until another showed me just how bad.
How shameful I felt not knowing.
How embarrassing it was to find out.
To find you had hurt me.
To find I had hidden it from myself.
You burned me and I hope you burn in hell.
For all of those going through the same thing I cry out in pain with you.
It was always someone else.
This time it's me.
No one thinks it will happen to them.
It did.
You did.
