A Hollow Promise the Fire

A few days ago my memories, my sentimental belongings were gone in a matter of minutes Kissed by the ravages of the scorching heat, agony for release all to no avail my heart and emotions bewail So tortuous the feelings inside reeling from the knowledge that they could never be repurchased, refurbished, or restored The fingers of heat reached out and touched and held on for dear life let me go you so and so I'm going to be missed more than you know I have no care and I do dare to hold you tighter than your most true love You are such a beast that gives no release, you take and you take and you destroy everything in your path You look around and then you laugh Everything that you come into contact with is damaged, and destroyed there is no reward Looking searching, searching trying to hide, you bring me out of my hiding place You smoke into my face and the dance begins again Nothing is left after you have taken what you have come for, nevermore Just so that you know that you will be sorely missed, un-loved and not dismissed I think nothing of your empty caress, no need to guess,not to digress Now I shake my head in sorrow, hoping for tomorrow, new thoughts I need to borrow, I try not to wallow, as I bow to your high-ness, as I have been dismissed from your hollow promise
