Its A Fire

Shaylee Belyea

It always hurts;
tears burning these eyes.
Its like the devil feeding me;
all these dirty lies. 

He loves watching me writhe;
in unbearable pain.
Rip my heart and hair out;
im past the point of insane. 

Screaming and crying;
at the top of my lungs.
I cant say anything; 
to change whats been done. 

Its a fire 
at the bottom of my feet. 
Crawling up
and crawling deep. 

Scorches my legs
eats at my thighs.
Cuts through to my stomach;
smoke burning my eyes.

The tip of my heart, 
slowly melts away.
The fire licking higher, 
as I scratch at the flame.

Theres nothing you can do;
its swallowing you whole
Its eaten your heart;
and next is your soul.

You feel alone
like your life's falling apart.
nobody wants you;
or your battered up heart.

Ashes to ashes; 
dust to dust.
Theres nothing left;
but a body of cuts

I know it burns;
it has all along
But its just a test; 
to prove that your strong.
