Burning Out Poem by Angel Jimenez

A quiet night
In the fire fighter station
Everything is so
So quiet
Until our laughs explode

Its us
The 'g' and the 'l' company
There we are
Sitting in the front part of the trucks
Watching the stars
Sharing experiences
Sad
Happy
Love expereinces

I smell some cigarettes
Oh, that sweet smell
Reminds me good stuff
Reminds me those days......when i had that smoke in my lungs
The day i quited smoking

I watch the stars
And wish....
Wish she could be there......
Wishing.....impossible things

Just like fire does

It burns and burns until...
It finally burns out
And my heart is doing the same stuff


Burning out
