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...
