The Fyre Poem by Erika Michelle

i dance in these flames of gold
i am caressed by your warmth
i lie down in the bed of ash
and i am at peace

my sanity turns green
as i fall from peace
because i am just not me
i do not know why or where i've gone

but ive fallen from Grace
ive become what i said i wouldnt
the smoke drifts from my mouth
and i close my eyes

surrounded by the flames of my past
i am engulfed in fire
this is my home now
is home just a liar?

i dont want to think about lies
just lay in the fire
the smoke fills my nose
and i am home..

light that match
burn the paper
light me up
and forget.
