Burning

Hear the roaring of the wind Hear the screaming of the alarm Jump out as you burn Scream when you see the glass break The power the fire shows making you watch So in a moment of weakness you sit there Watching the embers grow into a monster all in their own Choking in the smoky air Gasping for anything that is clean Hear the cries of the children weeping for their mother to come back Watch as it crumbles the ground Watch as your life falls to ash around your feet Feel the heat of the flames that devour anything in its past Cradle the youngest in your arms whispering it will be ok In that moment you hurt Maybe you are done Maybe it is too much to go on. You just want to sleep You are slipping away You can feel the heartbreaking truth You are alone even being surrounded by people Nothing will be the same
