Family of Five Consumed by Fire
Posted: May 8th, 2011, 7:18 pm
that blue-eyed boy's innocence has been destroyed
a monster
an addict
has been deployed
erratic behaviors
vicious tempers
hope has surrendered
discontent's winds ignite abandoned truth
an uncontrolable fire rages on
possibilities are long gone
this combustible cancer engulfs the man I once loved
combustion seeking destruction
flames licking, searing
threatening all I hold dear
the end to a cherished friendship
I fear
the drugs
the flames
can't burn
away the pain
the pain he holds in his heart
deep within
the embers
the burn
that let this fire start
set these lives a blaze
this situation is dire
as flames burn higher
please save me from this wild fire
hear my final plea
if not me
please save his family
please save this blue-eyed boy
his pain is just that
the eternal
burning torment
of an little boy
his childhood destroyed
just the same
by his paternal flame
the flame where he got that pain
help him set free
the pain
extinguish the flame
