Burn All Your Pain Away

Wisps of smoke spiraling around

Washing away pain

The pain of the mistake you made

The mistake of marrying him.

His filthy name now etched on your hands

Making ugly marks with the fine streaks of your palm

The wedding pyre still burning

With a flame of devastation

You want to wash all your emotions away

Of betrayal

Of losing self-respect

Of getting lost.

You do what you never imagined to

You burn your hands on the igniting flames

Wishing the marks of filthiness to go away

Burning your sins to attain peace

But oh dear, was this really your fault?
