Hell's Flame

Sitting in the corner
On a hot summer day

In a dark room
My friends at play

On
Off
On
Off

The lighter flicked on
And briefly flickered off

I thought of my ‘friends’
Faker than fake
Masters of sin

I and sick
And tired
And all alone once again

So I look to my flame
It guides my pain away

It’s my one true friend
Who happened to kill me that day

My burns were bad
My wounds scared deep

But now I don’t mind
For forever I shall sleep
