After the days of fire,

night falls

to tend to my skin

but that doesn’t mean

I am entirely

safe

from hell.

You know how to make me feel exposed,

but a girl like me

knows how to make it through

on her own…

After the days of fire,

I’ll face the perils of the night

without remorse,

I’ll claim my own salvation,

leave hell behind

once and for all

and not even a single detail

of your face

will remain in my memory.
