Ashes Anyway

By
Fire!
Do I feed it or stamp it out?
Fire!
You struck that damn match
when you walked out!

The choice remains:
Do I step out from the flames?
Or do I pull you in here with me
to dance on in the blaze?

By the time,
by the time the story's told
we'll be ashes anyway!
Forgiveness may set you free
but revenge is so sweet.

Fire,
burning up my heart and mind!
Fire
steals your heart
and then it robs you blind!

Fiery tongues
lick my wounds and stir my pain,
But blood and tears
can't hold a candle to this rage!

By the time,
by the time the story's told
we'll be ashes anyway!
Forgiveness may set you free
but revenge is so sweet.

By the time,
by the time the story's told
we'll be ashes anyway!
Forgiveness may set you free
but revenge is so sweet.

I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.
