The Fire's Burn

Fighting through the fire, Suffocating in the ash
Trying to find my way out, Blinded by the fires flash

Voices screaming in the night, Chanting for some help
My own voice is silent, Containing a nervous yelp

The flames grow higher, As others burn
Weaving through a maze, Getting lost at every turn

Desperately gasping for air, Trying to catch my breath
Crawling under smoke, Fighting to the death

The door is just over there, I reach for the knob
It's so hot it burns, Causing my hand to throb

Crying now, Crying tears of frustration
Wondering why me God? Why this damnation?

Realizing my time has come, When I feel the pain
Flames licking at my skin, Eager for the new life to claim

The night grows silent, After the lives have been taken
This once standing home, Has sadly became forsaken
