I'm just there
sitting,
watching the
woods burn.

Staring intently
finding comfort
in this
shallow heat.

Slowly
I stand
and walk
towards the fire.

In a snap
I am already
hugging the fire,
feeling it's heat.

Before I
realize it
i'm already
burning.

I screamed
and shouted
for help but
no one can hear.

I got out
of the fire
but I am
still burning.

I burned
and burned
until my
tears fell.

The ashes
of the
past are
out there.

Mixed
with
the air
I breathe.

And
slowly
suffocating
me.
