Poem: The World Ablaze

Story by Sylversin on SoFurry

, , , , , , ,


The world seems to crash around you

Your staring at the flames as they cover your world

Bright and hot and oh so dangerous 

You almost want to walk into the warmth

When you reach out the heat burns your finger tips

But you know if you go your fate is set into stone

You slowly back up into your door of your room

Fearing for every one in your life suddenly

You rip open the door and dash for your first route out

You stop to see the door ablaze 

Your heart stops and you run for the other door

To find out its covered with fire too

So you Take the last possible action and dive out the window

You fall onto the ground from the first story

With broken glass flying after you

You look up and look around as you get up

Making sure your not on fire as much as your house is

You start calling names hoping some one would reply

Your Neighbor who is a good friend runs out and hugs you

Asking where your family is

Suddenly it hits you, they are not outside

You want to run back in to find them

But you know in your heart with a heavy feeling

It is way to late to save them

Your heart sinks and you fall to the ground

Why you feel this way you have no idea because

You had no real personal connection with your family

The fire truck and ambulance arrive as you notice your bloodied arm

Your taken into the ambulance and stiched up while they put out the flames

They find a few of your pets and the rest of your family

The only one alive was your little sister who turned on the water on the main level

To stop her from lighting on fire But she was still at risk

You hug her close knowing that the rest of your family is gone as she cries

The main thought that goes

In and out of your head is...

What do we do now...
