Fire 

Fire, 

Burning bright.

Shinning orange against the night.

I came back to this little hut,

Only to see my family burning to dust.

Fire

Fire,

Burning bright.

Why did you cause more pain tonight?

My friend is hurt.

My family is damaged.

And you just caused them

To wear bigger bandages.

Fire

Fire,

Burning bright.

Shining orange against the night.

If I dare to put you away,

You'll only come back to hurt them another day.

***

I cherished them.

I worshiped them.

But most of all I loved them.

But now...

But now this curse has taken them away;

My friends,

My family,

The ones I loved,

And the ones I trusted.

My home is gone,

Turned to ashes.

My life is ruined,

Burned to nothingness.

***

Why can I not control

Myself?

Why did my flame effect

Them?

Why did it take them away?

Away from me?

Why doesn't this curse from Satan

Kill me too?

Why can't I be with my family?

Why is life so

Cruel?

***

Burning.

I'm burning.

Alive and dead.

Healthy and sick.

All at

Once.

I'm trapped

In this burning house.

On this sparking street.

In this fiery city.

In this dark state.

In this disappearing country.

In this ash-covered  world.

Fire.

It was a gift

That cursed me.

I want it gone.

I want my life back.

Nothing.

Nothing will be the same.

Ever.

***

Burning, burning.

Ignite me,

Oh bright, flaming one.

Fire,

Fire.

Power of hell itself.

I'm trying

To make things right

But

It's only getting harder

And harder

And

Harder.

One day,

I will break.

I will join my friends,

My family,

In either Heaven

Above,

Or hell

Below.
