Burning Ever After

I dance
In circles of fire
And never think to doubt

The fire
That consumes me
From both inside and out

The burn
Is inconsequential
The heat is the only key

The flame
Is always appealing
But of no real use to me

My heart
Is now surrounded
By a thick, cold wall of ice

The heat
My heart produces
Will not really be suffice

To melt
The ice to water
To in time remove the chill

To start
Again with beating
And stop from being still

The ring
Of flames surround me
Their power is renowned

I need
The flames around me
To burn me to the ground

From spark
To huge inferno
Spreading like a rash

I dance
Amid my circle
Until all I am is ash
