Broken
This poem is written for a book that I am currently writing, and I just thought that maybe I should put it on here to see what y'all think.

Screams in the night
as flames filled her sight
escaping the fire
the flames growing higher
Burnt walls all around her
scorched with pain and fear
Rooms filled with smoke
as her heart slowly broke
One right after the other
Father, sister, brother, mother
Nothing worse than losing family
the greatest heartache for any
scarred and remembering
figures of black not moving
Memories of the taken
and forever broken...
