Burning Alive

your body smolders

to the ground

Once soft skin

now charred and burnt

Once bright eyes

now dismal and vague

I remember telling you to burn

but not like this

not like this

Words I can't take back

will haunt me every day

screeching and crying out

wailing

desperate

faded echoes

I will hear every night

I didn't want this

not like this

not like this

Ah the bitterness of words better left un-said, nicely penned, you can feel the guilt dripping in each line.. "I wanted you to know but didn't want you to hurt" pretty much.

Thank you! I'm glad you understood the meaning (:
