Lost and Burned
Lost
 Unsure where to turn
 My mind reals
 To unlearn what I learned
 
 Trust held my hand
 Before
 But now I’m torn
 Potentially ignored
 
 The sun that shined 
 Has quickly set
 So much transpired
 I’ve much to forget
 
 But heed the heart
 Or set it loose 
 Which to do, 
 Which to choose?
 
 Now, surrendered
 Wild fire flies
 Murmuring
 Until in death it dies
 
 Built to burn
 To pass the fire
 My throat burns
 I still call you a liar
 
 Silence, quiet hope
 From the bushes burned
 The fire dimming
 Then spreading, winds unchurned
 
 I myself pass the fire
 The flames that char my soul
 But who am I to act as water
 In a fire out of control
 
 We stand
 A burnt and startled crew
 Crying tears of ashed
 Because we trusted in you
