The Fire

The pain in my heart
feels like a burning fire
Burning on & on forever.
As I burn slowly
I feel every part of it.
And as I forgive him again
the fire grows hotter
It burns Longer
So the pain stays
Will I learn?
Yes.
Because I'm done forgiving.
I'm done trusting.
All together I'm done.
In my heart,
the fire burns out.
But it still smolders.
SO forever I will remember
there one was a fire.
And I will always know 
how bad it hurt.
