Fire.

by ALEX   May 28, 2007


Kerosene wishes, they rush through her head.
Flames all around her... dancing shoes filled with lead.

The smoke in her bedroom is thickening, fast.
It seems like her fate, is in wrought-iron cast.

Pyrotic intentions, conceding, she's doomed.
All that careful planning, one match and it's ruined.

So mothers warn children, and children warn friends;
Do not play with fire, it won't happily end.
