Death By Fire

by AsTheCrowFlies   Jun 22, 2005


The air is hot
And filled with smoke
As I sit in the corner
Watching the flames spread across my bedroom
I find it hard to believe I'm going to end life this way
I wonder what my funeral will be like
Will they play my favorite song
Who will cry
But then I think
What if they don't care
What if they think I'm glad she's gone
Tears fall from my eyes
As I watch pictures of my friends turn to ash
I wonder if I should run
Go outside where I won't be killed
But then I look back on the past few months
And those memories keep me rooted to the spot
So many bad things have happened
I'm better off dead
I close my eyes as the flames surround me
I inhaled deeply letting the smoke burn my lungs
As the flames lick my face
I say a silent prayer
As my soul leaves my body
And floats to a better place
Where I can once again be happy
