Inside the fire
I woke to the smell of smoke on the air and wind
Thick was the smell of hair, sweat and skin
The air slowly tinning and with it my will within
The bed was warm, the air so hot I couldn't move
Faint crackling from the fire
Almost hypnotic the sound of its desire
To enthralled to move or fight
Its warmth felt to good, maybe just one more night
My breathing heavy, my chest tight
Its getting harder to breath with this fire's bite
The smokes getting thicker, it cared not of my plight
The fire spreading consuming all within its embrace
My name was on its lips, no time to gain more space
I should have moved, I should have put out the fire, put up a fight
It was all my fault i was caught by it's beauty and grace
It was then i realized it was my heart caught in the fire and smoke
It was my skin i smelt on the wind that was burnt
I dare to test its passion, i feed it my soul and now its out of control
My chance to leave had been and gone, now I'm to pay the toll
I feed the fire with body and soul
Now as one, its the heart of the fire that I've truly stoled.
