FIRE IN MY SOUL

FIRE IN MY SOUL

There is a fire in my soul,
burning brightly as my life
flashes before my eyes;
Intense heat, searing my flesh
and I recoil from myself.

This hatred cannot last,
I crave the cooling waters
that will douse the flames
of anger, bitterness;
Until I forgive, and forget -
there will be no peace.

There is a fire in my soul,
and I know it is hurting me
more than it ever hurt you;
Memory of passion, burnt offering,
it is time to let go.
