Clouding my judgement
the smoke
Shrouds my soul

Charring the essence
Of my humanity
Dark as coal

Visions of the past
Haunts me
Still to this day

Letting me know
This feeling
May never go away

Still the smoke
Churns from the house
On that night

And his flesh burns
From the flames
That ignite

Here I stand
So helpless
Frozen where I stand

As the heat radiates
From the house
Where you live

Every time
I see smoke taint the air
I remember that night

It was the last night
I'd ever seen you alive

It was the last night
Before the smoke
Filled my mind
