Burning

By C-L-S

Their are flames in my eyes,

that are burning me alive.

 

As I swallow back tears,

that are like gasoline to the fire inside.

 

I sit and I wonder if someone will ever stop the pain,

than I remember they will choke on the flames.

 

And I know I'm to blame,

I have learned I am meant to live with the pain.

 

Smoke begins to cloud my vision,

I scream out,

but you can only hear it if you listen.

 

I burn knowing no one knows I'm a victim,

but I guess that was my decision.

    all the darkness that's hidden inside.

     

    I have too much to hide,

    it'll seep through the cracks,

    You and me have something only I can see,

    I have realized it's slowly killing me.

     

    I love you can't you tell?

    you're the one that I fell for,

    but when I did,
