emitting flames

Shriveled  up
Charred and cracked
i lay there with my jaw slack

i used too whine,bitch and moan
but now my cries  for help
have no more home

i burned it up
to light the way
as all the drugs
burst
into flame

another song
about my self

i wanna be heard
not just stored onto a shelf

crisp and smokey
burnt to crisp
you looked at me
with my chapped lips

you didnt wince
you didnt smile
you instead just looked at me
for a while

Body aching
now in pain
i tried to move
its all a strain

as i lay
without a soul
the flames will en-gulf
me
whole

i tried to run
i tried to scream
but without these scars
Who would've  seen?

Who would have cried
who would have seen
if i was just another dream

i hope the look that i emit
will be enough
for you to quit
