Burning House
The memories were burned
Souls were burned
Burned to ash
Families were broken
Hearing the cries for help
Suffocating with a smolder flame
Things were burned
Skin was burned
Sensations was lost
A youth was burned
Like it was never going to happen
Hospital stays seemed to never end
Days in and days out
Prayers were said
Letters were sent
Things were burned
The life before that day was burned
Like it was never happened
A decade ago
There was a
“Burning House”
It touched everyone
But only burned one house
One family's hard work
Was burned in the matter of seconds
Body parts were lost
They were burned
A pain…
That wouldn’t go away with a simple aspirin
A pain…
That you would pass out from.
Having tons of wires hooked to you
It seemed like a rainbow of wires
Not knowing what they all do,
Because of a flame.
Not knowing if it was your fault,
Or if it was fate.
A “Burning House”
That started a family's life over
That pulled a family closer
Parents cried behind closed doors
Trying to be strong
Preparing for a loss
Not knowing the unknown
Not knowing if the baby
Is gonna be a piece of blue sky.
Then wanting heaven not to be so far away
Wanting to hold her one more time,
Kiss her one more time,
Hug her one more time
Telling her that you love her one more time
But that would be the last…
Prayers were answered
Letters were opened
A baby stayed on earth
The unknown is not so unknown it was very transparent
A “Burning House”
Didn’t take two lives
That is a story of a young girl’s
"Burning House"
