Poem about Burning.

(ImageCredit)

To Burn,
How the pain must be.
To Burn,
A ruined dream.
To Burn,
Forgotten in the flames.

After awhile the pain just melts away..

To Burn,
Is it a cleansing?
To Burn,
Is it a punishment?
To Burn,
Is it what you want father?

Then let me suffer for those that do not deserve such a fate…
~For those who have forgotten your light, the brightest flame of them all~

    Do not sacrifice yourself for others. You do that, and we lose a great poet…..not fair.
