You weren't gentle,
And I didn't want you to be.
You were fierce,
Unstoppable,
A wildfire raging through my life.
And I opened every door,
Unlocked every part of me,
Let you burn through everything
I thought I was.
Because with you,
Destruction felt like freedom.
Author's Note*
You didn't come into my life to stay still. You came like a storm, tearing down walls I didn't know I had. I let you in, knowing full well that the fire could destroy me. But for a moment, the destruction felt like freedomâand I wasn't afraid of the ashes you left behind.
