Burning

Burning

A Poem by Elizabeth Porterfield
"

Me letting go of the guilt...

"
Ashes falling
All around me
This darkness
I wish had never found me
Slowly
I burn
I stand surrounded
By the fire
Drowning in the flames
Of my desire
Here I am love
Watch me burn

(Chorus)
Cause I gave into the sin
The madness of the mystery
Fell to me
I let temptation in
And though I know it's history
Still I can't forget

Guilt consumes me
Like a cold sweat
I'm sorry that I
Just can't forget yet
You've forgiven me
When will I learn
Still I can't bring me
To forgive myself
Though my hatred
Can't be good for my health
I'm sorry
Will I ever learn

(Chorus)
Cause I gave into the sin
The madness of the mystery
Fell to me
I let temptation in
And though I know it's history
Still I regret

You tell me it's done
And over with
And all I can do
Is let go of it
You say "Please,
For me"
So this is how
I'm getting over it
This is how I'm
Letting go of it
For both you
And me

(Chorus)
Cause I gave into the sin
The madness of the mystery
Fell to me
I let temptation in
And though I know it's history
Still I can't forget
But now I'm letting go of this
The moments I let darkness win
