It Burns Poem by Naomi Waters

It Burns



The fire surrounds me
It burns
I feel it climbing up my arm
I try to scream
But the fire has burned my throat
The fire has stolen my voice
It burns
It turns my skin black
I feel my life ebbing away
Even though I have no voice I try and scream again
The fire has reached my face
It burns my cheek
It steals my sight
I am now blind
Without direction
Without a voice
I lose myself in the flames
In the fire
I fall
Into the flames
Lost forever
My last thought being
It burns

Quite emotional and somewhat scary but denotes more implications. One could suggest it's Love, another might think it's some wild thought/s inter alia. I cherish the touch of your literary hand, Naomi.

I didn't even write this one down. I just got on my computer to check my profile and them for some reason typed this up and published it
