Lit Match

by Nicko   Dec 15, 2005


I lit the match and the fire engulfed us

Wild fire out of control

Heat getting so hot we can not touch

No water around to put us out

Looking at each other our eyes screaming in pain

Our skin starting to burn is driving us insane

I reach for you but you can not see me

The smoke is so heavy do you really need me

I am standing in front of you but but you can not see

Soon the fire will totally engulf the two of us

Will you ever know or fully understand why...

I lit the match
