A snap of fingers
And my world changed forever
As the flames consumed
Everything I thought was real
Somehow I survived
Was it Ishbala
Or some other Power
That spared me from the fire?
I dragged myself
Out of that burning pyre
Only to see you
And thinking I would die
It was only right
My parents were traitors
Trying to save lives
If they were traitors, then what was I?
The horror on your face
Heartbreak in your eyes
Told me everything
As I curled up, prepared to die
When I woke again, I wasn't alone
You were watching me
That's when I knew
I'd never walk again
We looked at each other
Unsure of what to say
I was numb, I couldn't think
As your eyes begged forgiveness
You cried that night
After that, you took me in
But neither of us forgot
What you did
The scars on these legs
Serve as a reminder
That everyone is human
And every life is precious
You may hide
The scars inside
But when you look at me
Horror is still living in your eyes
