You'll burn

By eske

  My name to me is something like a fire, So red, so bright.  It can be strong somteimes with a cold blue flame.  Just stare at my reputation and you'll see something in my eyes pure and true.l  I'll let you down though and prove you wrong.  I'm honest, and so I will break hearts as a pass time.  Under the flame there's ashes, the dark part of my life burning with ember.  I'll burn your reputation with mine and take your place.  Betray my welcoming trust, and I'll let that pass.  To me you will become someone such as comparing truth to lies, But,  I will do fine making your lies true taking control of you.  My revenge will be an oil spill;  my fire will follow until the source becomes a waste;  the tank will explode and with it your life my dear loving friend.  My reputation is a secret much like smoke;  it goes inte the sky, and you see it no more.  My life does have a limit, and I'd say it's worth saving despite of the pollution I put in the broad blue sky.  I'd admit to not any lie and die as a martyr to let the world see me shine.  So with my death, I will be remembered and not as a bad man.
