I Dream of Fire
Every night i dream of fire
and death.
I stand over you as I watch you bleed I watch as
The pain fills your eyes and
You reach out to touch me but
I kick your hand away like a
dirty rag.
Your hand falls sadly and the flames
swallow you whole
I stand and watch as tears begin
To form but not full of sadness but full
of rage.
This is what you get I think to my self
You reap what you sow.
I can still see your face as the flames
eat you alive
The heat surrounds me and death
comes soon after.
The flames dance all night until the sun
breaks its light.
But I stand in front of
the raging fire
My heart filled with no emotion
You were suppose to be special I said to my self
But I let you go so easily.
I wipe my tears away
But my rage builds till my chest
starts to hurt.
I look around at what was once my
Life and then I say its time to take
my leave I look once more as your body burns to ash
Then I turn from the flames and start to slowly walk away.
Then I start to disappear with every step I take
Then I realize when that person died
my soul left with them.
