Virtue

The Mask of fire

Fire I grow tired

Give me a break,

And stop wearing me down to the wire.

Fire you burn hot.

And everyday you corrode the spot,

Where my heart suddenly stopped

Fire you inquire...

"My beauty is astonishing and graceful,

Mesmerizing and tasteful!"

Fire you’re a liar

The light you omitted was new to me,

So I couldn’t really see,

In reality

You’re the enemy.

Fire now, I know your touch is bitter.

Do not try to seduce me, like the others I deem quitters.

My body won’t be littered.

Fire I will overcome thee.

I will never unlock my mind,

to such a kind.

And throw away the key.

Fire I am strong.

I will fight the pain,

And victory I'll gain

Fire you are weak

I have overcome all of your ravenous greed.

And broken our bonds on which you feed.

Fire don’t be sour.

Are you in demise

that it is I, who is now in power?
