Burn

Through the years that boil you

And the lessons that you learn

Let the fire not betray you

Each time, brighter, may you burn.

The bullets that rip your chest

& the cracks that make the heart churn

Let your scars screech, but in zest

O darling, higher, may you burn

For the love you lost & gained

And the deaths that had your concern

For the acid of your eyes that rained

I pray you never stop, but, burn

Let the flame consume your soul

Don’t cry if the gods are taciturn

World's blind to the ash of your whole

Don’t let the fire die. Till the end- burn.
