Second Degree Love

Your love was like a second degree burn.

Just enough to melt away my flesh.

Just enough to leave a scar.

I had always been addicted to playing with fire, but I had never felt a flame like you.

You warmed me in the winter

But spring came

And you were afraid I wouldn't need you anymore.

So you took me apart

Keeping only the ashes of my heart.

You hurt like hell

And now all I have left are these scars to remind me that I am not a pyromaniac,

I am nothing at all.
