THE FLAMES OF LIFE

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)


flames of life

She sits by the fire
Watching it burn
It reminds her of herself some years ago
When the flame of her youth was burning
The adventures never ended
She was a young girl with no care in the world

She moves closer to the fire
to feel the heat of the fire
So hot was it,like when she was human
When she had feelings
When she felt desire
When she felt love
But all that was over now

She puts her hand into the flames
it did not hurt,it felt good
The way it burnt her skin
Reminded her of the world that was taken away from her
She lost the only sources of pride and motivation
her family,they were all killed and their bodies burnt

The fire,the fire reminded her of everything she would have been
Before they caught her and raped the sweetness of life out of her
All the love she had for the world was taken away from her
Everything happened under 24hrs
She saw them all ,she heard them laugh
She heard their voices

After they were done
She was left to rot,oh why did she not die
Because now she was a monster
A monster who carved revenge
She burnt the house to the ground
And swore that she will get them

Now they are lying down here
Almost lifeless for she did not kill them ,no
She left them alive
She wanted to watch their souls leave their body
She wanted to feel them hovering around her
She wanted to hear them beg

She moved over to one body
And starred into his eyes
It sang songs of regret
He struggled to beg but couldn't for he was dying
NO,this is not what she wanted
She wanted them to laugh
Just like they laughed when they were pounding her
When they were burning her family

But no,they could not laugh
Begging was all they did
They begged like dogs,like weaklings
They beg,they did nothing else but beg
Then,one of them could not hold on any longer
She ran to his lifeless body,crying and begging him to come back
She needed to see more,how could they die so early
They all died the same way,begging like fools

She starred at the fire,and hated the way it burned
These flames of her life
The fire showed her agony
She sat there ,starring into the fire as the house burnt
It burnt her body and soul
But she did not feel it
She forgot how to feel
She could hear the firemen shouting
But not in the flesh

She watched them take her lifeless body out
No-one could identify her
All of a sudden,she could feel herself burn
I guess it never ends,the agony continues
She would have to face her demons now
She was ready
Ready to face the flames of her life
