.gone away into the flames

[siehn]

Just. Something I wrote after the fire. I don't know. I really don't.



It’s the shattered smile
And the pain in her eyes
Telling quiet lies
And hiding behind ‘I’m fine”.

It’s tangled up in terror
Lost in the reality of dreams,
And waking up to the nightmare of her life
Everyday just to smile fake in relief.

Normal is relative
And not definitive.
There’s nothing left of the life before
Except burned out husks
And melted metal of loved ones gone.

There’s fire and smoke
So thick she chokes
On the stale taste in her throat;
Can’t get rid of the smell
And hands stained black with guilt.

Ruination and damnation;
It felt like the gates of Hell
And the Devil coming to claim his own
A glimpse of the future,
Of everything ever-after?

Burning bright light;
Echoes of pain and flames,
They’re one in the same
Taking everything away.
What’s left of lives too broken to fight.
