Eternal Flames

White hot flames,
are licking at my feet,
as I'm running in circles,
through a burning street.

I see people on the sidewalks,
not even a sweat from the flame,
while my hair is scorched and my feet are burned,
I'll never feel the same.

My vision is clouded by the smoke,
while everyone around me proceeds unharmed,
my body is starting to panic,
while everyone else is un-alarmed.

I'm getting tired from running,
for I see nothing but flames and smoke,
my mind cannot even think straight,
so I missed the tiny voice who spoke.

"I'm sorry but she is gone,"
said the faint voice from somewhere elsewhere,
and the flat line beeped in the hospital room,
while my family sat and stared.

They stared at my lifeless body,
which was now running through smoke and flames,
cursed for eternity,
because of my many games.

The flames cannot kill me,
for I gave up and decided to try,
instead it burns away my soul,
and the pain just amplifies.

Forever I must keep running,
or face the pain I put others through,
and I can't take that feeling,
so running is what I must do.

Still running through burning streets,
with the fire catching up quick,
all because of the lies I told,
and the dirty little tricks.

So put out your own fire,
while you still have the chance,
because if you're not careful,
on your heels the flame can prance.

You will get double the pain,
that you gave out during your time,
and nothing can save you when the flame starts to burn,
cause you fed the flame over time.

So please extinguish your flame,
while it's still hidden from your view,
unless you like running,
from a flame that will soon consume you.
