When our hearts burned out

They say true love burns forever, but what happens when the love you had burns out and in its absence is nothing but the burnt remains. I loved that boy with all I had, but then he came home with someone I never expected. My sister. Now years later, he gets to help me down the ladder of my burning apartment. Oh, and being completely naked while I am going down said ladder was not in the game plan to win him back. I think I just lost more of my dignity.
