being trapped in a burning building until the thick smoke burnt my lungs. i stayed with you beneath the flames even though it was slowly killing me. all around me i watched everything burn; the had beens and once was-es reduced to smokey nothingness. my naive lungs filled with smog still would not leave you. maybe it was my clouded judgement due to the the lack of oxygen that made me think the fire would evaporate the tears as well... d.j.
