the fire in my heart
no longer burns for you.
it burns for no one
but me.

the fire in my heart
has long forgotten
how to scream your name,
like it used to every day.

the fire in my heart
was blown out
by your pain
and you'd left it
the smallest spark.
I thought I'd never
regain my strength.

the fire in my heart
has finally
built itself up
once again,
and this time
I know better
then to let you
anywhere near it.

the fire in my heart
no longer burns for you.
it burns for no one
but me.
