The Fire
February 5, 2013
A fire grows higher.
I'm yearning while burning.
My words are mistaken and a heart wrongfully taken.
As Death comes to Haunt me, I tell her I'm sorry.
Let it keep rising and listen to Death sing.
I didn't know the penalty or that he'd come after me.
I hug her tight in this still night.
It's time to leave, these words I weave.
We're engulfed in the fire and we have a common desire.
We welcome Death as we make our final breath.
