The World Was on Fire

All the trees around me are engulfed in a firey orange glow,
Of the orange leaves.
And smoke poofs into the air spreading out the orange,
But not enough.
But all the leafless trees do look like smoke.
And the ground is on fire, 
With piles of multicolored leaves.
And everything around me is firery.
Except for me,
Who is dressed all in black.
So I guess I'm a coal,
Charred and all burned out.
But be careful,
Because I still feel like an ember,
And I am meant to burn.

    Wrap our arms around each other and walk down the street.
    Someday I’ll have a special name, that only you call me,
    Something that makes me smile,

    Always something

    It's always got to be something.
    That one thing that takes the wind out from under your wings making you tremble,
    and fall.
    And it's always the something you generally expect,
    But hoped wouldn't happen.
