Flames
Flames burn within her fragile body.
Burns her from the inside out.
Deteriorates everything that she used to be.
Flames engulf her and everything that she is.
The only difference for her is she is reborn through the flames.
She is like a snake shedding a new skin.
She rises up through the ashes and is stronger than she was before.
She is no longer being destroyed by the flames.
She is the flames and they are bigger and brighter than any flames ever seen.
So be careful when you look into those fiery eyes of her, because you will be so captivated that you will forget she is fire, and you too will be engulfed by the beautiful flames that she is.
