it burns,
this fire in my soul
is scorching my being
trying to turn me to ash
the smoke is becoming
my spirit,
everything is ablaze
there is no escaping these flames
that threaten my psyche
the little control i have left
but it doesn't go away
the hoses can't douse this fire
even the firemen steer clear
i am alone in this burning home
going mad on the brink of death
the fire is whispering to me
speaking the most painful words
the truth.
because i know why this fire is burning
it's hate and love at war
because for whatever reason,
God only knows, i still miss you.
