Sacrifice
He manipulated my heart.
He drove my demons into submission.
I cried when he touched me.
I felt the pain that revived me.
He stroked at my flames,
and now he's severely burned.
The scars on his flesh are brightly pink,
and ash is falling to the floor.
Why trifle with something that's completely damaged?
Why try to keep me down?
I'm nothing but a burden,
but he wanted to see me succumb.
Since he wants to dominate me.
Since he wants to play his sadistic games.
I will take him down with me,
and we both will explode in shame.
