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.

    Now all you do is haunt my dreams,

    making my thoughts slowly bleed,

    Crave

    I crave physical touch,

    I need to feel skin to skin,

    I need to be felt,

    I crave something I hate.

     

    I've never liked hugs or the feeling of someone touching me,
