    Ablaze

    I am the crafter of my own destiny

    I am the map-maker

    The life taker,

    I am the lover, the laughter and the end.

     

    Watch me dance, but not too close,

    I am fire, I am power.

    Watch me burn.

     

    All the fuel of my soul will be spent

    But it will blaze so very brightly.

    I will outshine the sun for a second

    And then you will see

    The woman the girl in me made.

     

    And when I fade, when all is done

    There will remain a scorch mark

    Burned on your skin

    As a reminder of what the day does to the night.

     

    I am the woman you danced with

    The girl you smiled at

    I am the dawn and the dusk,

    I am an eternity in one breath.
