Here's A Fire Poem by Desiree Whitamore

I see the town burning
desire is taking the wheel.
i feel the heat rising
and now i'm lost for real.

they started this mess
the rest is still unclear
we're left to pick up the peices
and wipe away our tears.

the saying that nobody is perfect
couldn't be more true
and i would like to take the time
to spell it out for you

When you yell, i break
when i cry you stay mad
i try for hours on end
but my heart stays broken in half.

I call you names of hatred
you earned them on your own
I feel the emptiness around me
is this really what i call home?

Time is almost up
i've only got ten minutes or so
the heat is not on
and im shivering because i'm cold.

You pour water on the smoke
it settles down for a while
but then when it ignites again
just me with the flames of denial.

and you'll be gone like you always were
and i've got to log off now
the bell will ring any minute
and i'll be asking how

you can live with the knowledge
you are breaking me.
all i do is wish that one day
you look up and see...
