Silent in the Flames

Burning and scalding, the flames rise

Choking and gagging I search for you threw the black smoke.

My eyes strain, I lean forward, thinking to see you.

The flames rise, engulfing my cries.

In silence I burn, burn away,

as you stand there, stand away.

I’m dying slowly, unable to move, unable to speak,

and your standing there stunningly, able to move, able speak.

I dare not ask,

for you to save me.

I dare not cry,

for you to rescue me.

I dare not say a word

in fear that you will hate me.

Burning and scalding the flames rise.

Choking and gagging I meet your eyes.

Seeing you I lean forward, silently pleading, silently begging;

For you to save me.

For you to rescue me.

But in the end you only hate me,

And I remain in misery,

silent in the flames.
