The Big Book of Poems

Charred

Does anyone notice if I write / don't write ?

You tossed a match to the gasoline
With no thoughts in your head
So you threw the fire to the petrol
With nothing but carnage ahead
You expected the flames and how they licked up my legs
And you embraced the orange the yellow and reds
And it was so beautiful and filled with colour
Now you must bathe in the ashes that you have discovered

This goes to show and completely proves
That you shouldn't act upon your bad moods
To create fire for the sake of it
Results in the charred
Charred words
Charred feelings
Charred me
Charred hearts

It looks so great but it hurts the whole time
If you can deal with the burning then don't worry it's fine
There's all the excuses like I can't help it
And I forgot
But you knew what what happening
When you left me to rot

You sparked the argument
In front of sad diesel
And didn't stop your laughing
When you realised the upheaval
So now quit your crying as I'm dead underground
Because I was screaming my hardest
But you didn't hear a sound
Next time just don't
Because you know how it goes
Charred me
No highs
Charred you
Too many lows
