Let It Burn

by Kuro   Dec 11, 2010


Tear out my heart
I hope to never return
Set it ablaze
Its of no concern

Death of a soul
Ceremonial flame
There is no-one left
To take the blame

Let it burn, let it burn
Every scar you have earned
Let it burn, let it burn
Know one day it will be my turn

Higher and higher
the flames do rise
Its hard to see
through all your lies

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
put on a cross
and left to rust

Let it burn, let it burn
Every scar you have earned
Let it burn, let it burn
Know one day, it will be my turn

~~~Song written for a friend, Jimmie~~~

    This poem does seem dark and sad, but that is what I love about it. Amazing work, as always. Now I really wish I could here the melody to this. lol. :)

    I agree with TJ, the flow is good, easy to read and I found myself almost singing the words. Full of sadness, maybe a love affair gone bad, a death of some sort, gives the reader some options. I hope you friend Jimmie enjoyed it as much as I did.

    Normally I don't care for verses repeated but in this case, absolutely a must. A write full of depth , intense emotion . The flow is smooth with no flaws, excellent
