This is a very sad deeper meaning behind this poem. It seems like you are saying you burned yourself and its sad. I love the wording that you used though because you made it seem subtle. Depression really can turn you to ash so to speak though. It can leave you and make you feel like nothing at all. I love how the flame you speak of can be represented as something deeper and that could be sadness at least I think so. The decribing words are great. I love how you used every line to connect and say how this flame has hurt you. I would change nothing 5/5

You're really nice with your words. Your poems have deep meanings. Hope to hear more from you!
