Ocean of Fire


The atmosphere is an ocean

I swim to you anyway

The air is on fire

and I still run to you

but as I open my mouth 

to say the words

I drown in the burning flames

my heart breaks 

I'm speachless 

I am unsaid

untamed 

disgraced

the only words I had to say

were the ones that got away

if actions speak louder than words

I must be screaming

but if you can't hear me

I'm not speaking
