I Watch Poem by Kelli D. Williams

I watch your heart go up in flames
Your soul melt to the ground
You try to call my name
But you can't make a sound

I watch your eyes turn black as night
You lose all your strength
You try to see me
But the fire's too bright

I watch you try to run
You fight for your life
But the fire hits you
Like a bullet from a gun

I watch the light leave you
Your life begins to fade
You slowly slipped into the dark
As I silently prayed.
