Just before she burst into flames She looked dead at me and said... "How could you? I thought you loved me, too..."

I wanted to be sad for the "she" in this poem, but then I though 'Ah, but as a pheonix, she will rise again, reborn in the ashes.' Somewhat resolves the guilt or sadness this poem might otherwise express.
