See the beauty within the flames
Is what had made me
The beauty within the flames
Is what had saved me
The weight on my shoulders
Is like the size of our planet
The cuts on my wrist
Was a sign, I was damaged
A dagger straight to the heart
And a spear to my side
I was seeking the truth
I was sick of the lies
A dove descended
and landed on my head as I died
Something told me to open my eyes
I was blinded by the brightness
And a little surprised
The poisonous flame
Was right before my eyes
She was beautiful
Her skin was ebony and bronze
Her voice was so soft
It literally made doves cry
The look in her eyes
Was so pure and Devine
The way
She spoke of me
Had me so mesmerized
The beauty within the flame
Is what had made me
She bathed me
And she raised me
But I refuse to let her enslave me
I thank she
Who saved me
Who graced me
She refused to replace me
My demons
Still chase me
But cannot out race me
Her flames set me a blaze
Until I was nothing but ashes
They whipped me
And Ive always bared the lashes
She burned in me empathy and compassion
Lit the fire of my passion
And drove me into action
Made me greater by the subtraction
So I love the poisonous flame
For breaking me down
And I praise her
For building me back up
From the ground
She is I
The poisonous flame
Within my pride
Deep down
Inside
She still cries.
