Breathless I feel the flames creep through the corridors Devouring each room in seconds Searching, searching The Smoke Stealing the oxygen from my lungs I feel it clog my throat Breathing black tar Clouding my vision as it clouds my lungs The building trembles with me Booth shudder as we struggle not to be consumed by the fire The blaze casts it’s tongues to me, scorching me It reaches for me Beckoning me into it’s welcome arms It coils it’s temptation around me, restricting Lacing through my veins You are the fire Freeing me Killing me.

Drowning flames
Breathless I feel the flames creep through the corridors Devouring each room in seconds Searching, searching The Smoke Stealing the oxygen from my lungs I feel it clog my throat Breathing black tar Clouding my vision as it clouds my lungs The building trembles with me Booth shudder as we struggle not to be consumed by the fire The blaze casts it’s tongues to me, scorching me It reaches for me Beckoning me into it’s welcome arms It coils it’s temptation around me, restricting Lacing through my veins You are the fire Freeing me Killing me.
