Where I refuse to stay
The blisters formed and bubbled, Your skin began to burn,
Desperately trying to extinguish all light,
While
feigning such concern.
Smothering out the flame, cutting off the air,
the charring smell is making me sick.
No, It's pretending that you care.
Your hands once so soft, have now grown callus,
harden from the
"home"
you built around me,
Each brick
tainted with malice.
Gasping tightly around my ever failing, feeble form,
Looking around frantically,
only to be met with your
cloudy eyes filled with scorn.
I lay there in the ashes, the remnants of me,
Darkened sky of smoke surrounding my vision,
All thats left is seared debris
And that is where you left me.
But that's where I refuse to stay.
~
Flicker in the ashes
Ready to burn brighter then before
