Last night I walked into fire,
Skin glowing with heat,
Allowing myself desire
That tasted so sweet.
It was only a minute,
A minuscule taste,
But I was burning in it,
Refusing to waste
Even one glowing ember
Shed in the flame's tear.
I know I will remember,
Keeping fire near.
I know I should be running,
Trying not to burn,
But desire's quite cunning,
And I never learn.
Flaming brilliance burns above,
So I stay below,
Until night pulls me out of
Hiding, heart aglow.
Once marked, I can't run away,
But I don't want to.
I study the sky each day,
Dying to walk through.
Burning in all of my pride,
I commit my crime.
Maybe I'll find the right side,
Save myself this time.
