As stated in my about me section, I am divorced.
While going through my divorce, my husband asked me if I wanted to get back together and try to fix things. I went over to our house to talk to him, got shitfaced, and ended up sleeping with him.
I woke up, realised what I had done, grabbed my clothes and drove home. I cried all 50 miles. I went home, got ready for the day, scrubbed my skin till it was bright red. I got dressed and drove to work. At work, I wrote this poem.

Sometimes in life you want something so badly,
you become blind to the consequences.
Blinding your logic, fear, and all of your senses.
The flame is so beautiful you forget not to touch,
your fingers get burned and it hurts so much.
Again and again you go back to the flame.
By now you no longer even feel the pain.
The fire dances in your eyes as you get closer to it,
scarring every inch of your body bit by bit.
When will you learn to put your foot down and stomp it to ashes?
This flame in your life, it doesn't fit, it clashes.
It crashes and burns everything in your life.
Your body, your mind, until you decide.
Until you decide that enough is enough,
Your life and your soul will be shackled in cuffs.
-Quoth the Raven
