They say once you've been burned
you learn that the flame is not your friend
something to be feared,
so why do I find myself
back in your arms
though I still bear the scars
where your touch has burned away
all memories of my life before you
exposing my heart to your brand of love
and reducing my soul into ash.

couldn't do that myself . . . too many if's and possibilities and all negative, at least for my side, all positives for the "old flame" with nothing to lose.
