I've embraced the fire when it came to destroy me.

I took every ounce of burn it had to offer.

I allowed it to engulf me until I became one with it.

Inside me, a fire filled with passion burns.

It burns for my husband.

It burns for my only child.

It burns for my mother and my siblings.

It burns for me.

I felt invincible with this newly found flame, thinking that nothing could put this blazing fire out.

But oh God, was I wrong.
