The fire around me, engulfing the walls, the roof and even the floor, being stuck in the corner all i could do is scream until i fell asleep...
walking through the dark but pale moonlight down the old skittishly paved road, trying not to be found or found using the back alleys and roads. patting my own pockets to make sure i didn't drop anything like my knife or lighter.
who thought id be running from one of the people i love, or once loved. who wants to run away from somebody constantly no matter what you are doing, scared and hiding trying not to be found, avoiding any possible contact with anyone.
starting to pick up speed hearing the all too familiar footsteps of him alarm filling me wreaking havoc on my mind with each step i hear.
quaking with every fiber of my being, wanting to find a escape desperately thinking and rushing, seeing the house i just booked it inside Slamming the door shut behind myself.
feeling the tears starting to swell up and gather i just let it all out back against it as he bangs on it violently from outside not speaking a single word, i crawled into a ball as tight as i could wind myself up, hearing a splash of liquid after the thumping faded out, feeling the panic raise and rise with my heart rate, listening to the splash and dribble of the liquid trying to calm myself as i force myself back onto my feet, locking the door and running upstairs and locking myself in my bedroom.
after a few minutes go by of crying and looking for the phone, that's when i felt the heat and realized what he had done, opening my own bedroom door looking down the stairs, broken glass, broken window, Flame everywhere.
Desperately trying to cling to the life i had i ran down the stairs towards the back door, feeling the heat and ducking a little to avoid excessive smoke
As soon as i reach the door with it being on-fire of course i cant open it, part of the roof falls and I'm trapped.
The fire around me, engulfing the walls, the roof and even the floor, being stuck in the corner all i could do is scream until i fell asleep...
