Taraji P. Henson’s Narration

[Spoken: Taraji P. Henson]
It started as a spark
Then we fed it
With promises, with hands that held tight
Eyes locked, "I do"
But flames are greedy things
And I, I noticed the smoke curling between our words
But I didn't flinch when the warmth became a warning
When your touch left blisters instead of butterflies
We called it passion, fate
Fire consuming the walls we built together
Until one day, I stood in the ashes alone
Your name still on my lips, your ghost in my lungs
And realized through anger and rage
Love shouldn't burn everything it touches
So I walked away from the wreckage
Not because I stopped loving you, no
But because I finally understood
Even love is something you must escape
You forced me to live in the flames
And I was the moth
Oh, this nigga, ha
He created this fire in me
Yeah, I just simply wanted him to love me back to life, that's it
But no
The hardest part was realizing I should've walked out this bitch a long time ago
Yeah, but I, I, I ignored the, the signs
Yeah, those flags was slapping me upside the face
But I loved you, nigga
But you what? I'm alright now
I'm on my fuck-you, bitch, fuck you
Yeah, it's up now, nigga, it's up
