Does your soul burn –
Like the sun belongs in your chest?
Because right now – I’m doing all that I can –
To stop the fire from devouring me
Searing flesh – screaming bones –
Flames that are witnessed by me, and me alone;
Perhaps – if I could get someone to see them –
Anyone! Then when I’m done, there’ll be –
A little bit more of me left behind
than just ash.
