Devotion Fragment XLVII: Ash Offering
⧼ fire doesn’t wait. it burns. ⧽
You paused so long at the edge of the fire, and now you wonder if the warmth was ever real. It was. But fire doesn’t wait. It burns.
It has consumed all of me. My soul ignited when you let your gaze fall to me.
I’ve kept the embers burning while you circled ‘round like a predator, waiting to devour me.
I would willingly offer you everything that I am, everything I ever hoped to be, for you to turn me to ash at your touch.
