*born In Fire* Poem by Saane Pahulu

A heat of the moment
to blame on love
to blame on anything and everything
but to blame myself.
To hate for so long
grown sour and bitter
no sweetness in my movements
but the grim veil over my eyes.
Why don't I see happiness?
My hearts gone hard over the years
rotting with deteste
and the order not to forgive.
Should I suffer
for the night of sin
that burned with passion
that ruined what could've been?
To regret everything
to be blinded by lust
to live with my punishment
no longer seen as a gift
but a curse.
To give life to a child
who takes after me
only she was unplannes
and was born in fire
