Fire of Lies
As your skin burns to ash before my tearfilled eyes,
I feel like a part of me is being torn away.
And I wish I could help and end all of your pained cries,
So all the hurt would be out of play.
Thinking of all the bitter and hurtful lies,
Makes me want to just escape with you, and just get away.
But I can't have it that easy.
I tried desperately to understand and make it go away,
But our flicker of hope wasn't as strong as the fire of lies.
