My Fair Lady

It burns.
It hurts.
My stomach churns.

The scent of searing flesh shall forever take away my peaceful rest. We lost much more than our homes that night, the flames illuminating the sky. I was a girl of only seventeen when the flames claimed me.

My body.
My life.
My soul.

The streets are different now, full of different people and things I have never experienced before. Days are bright, days are grey, but the happiness never stays away. I am glad it returned after that fateful night full of firelight. The children remember me. They remember all of us. Their voices comfort me. I never thought I would say that I enjoy singing about my last day.
