Fire.

It was enveloping her, burning and searing her flesh.

I cant let it win...

the passionate longing that dove deep within her revealed itself.

shatter, break.. i warned you you'll fall..

the voice was familiar, grating against her last nerve.

she felt her world crumble, her head was spinning..

you'll fall..

suddenly she longed to remember his beautiful face, his greeny-blue eyes..

i cant let it win!

she felt something form in her hands. the poem.

she read it over and over again..

its text was illuminated by the flames that were eating their way to her heart.

with one fleeting glance hell broke out, each shock of reality hitting her harder than the last.

and as the flames slowly consumed her,

a cold unfeeling realization spurted from her lips.

"I loved him"
