Fed to Ashes

I wrote this for the Flame(s) Contest which you can see in the News section here: [link]

So I've wanting to write this for a while but I didn't really know how to go about it, and after listening a lot to the song 'The Flame' by Cheap Trick [] and getting kicked off the computer for about 20 minutes, I got the chance to write it.

It started out as the narrator being burned alive, sort of, like in a room of flames. Then I kind of made the flames be some sort of passion for something. And how the narrator can't die because her fire -- an inner emotion, inner being -- wouldn't survive. And the actual flames will be feeding on her [its desires] while she would be getting the flames desires, or approval of sorts. And then it just ends with how she can only survive in those ashes.

If that doesn't make much sense, I can understand, because I just had to dissect it after I wrote it. I think that's what I meant, but if you have other ideas, feel free to think by them.
