I watched it turn him to ash,

every time was supposed to be the last,

but then that flame would roar once again,

like a dragon's breath and it swallowed my friend.

I watched it turn him to ash,

the smoke rising from his mouth,

he slowed and watched time pass,

he was watching as his life went south.

I watched it turn him to ash,

he never listened I couldn't reach him,

his brain was a pile of hash,

that fire he thought could brighten, made his eyes dim.
