Taraji P. Henson's Narration

It started as a spark
Then we faded
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
This nigga, huh
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, I ignored the-the signs
Yeah, those flags were slapping me upside the face
But I loved you, nigga
But you know what I'm on, right now?
I'm on my, "**** you, bitch"
**** you
Yeah, it's up now, nigga
It's up
