Extinguish

Flames of Death Danced Around Me

Fire burns bright

The spark does ignite

Passion glows

Oxygen

You fed my soul's flame

Breath so sweet

Once in love

I used to smile

Perfect lie

Whisky brings

Cruel evil always

Hide, my loves!!

Liquor fueled

Demon eyes appear

Hell is here

Terrified

My poor children hide

While I fight

Strangled me

Hands crushing my throat

Breath now gone

Who are you?!

On me were your hands

Not in love

Tried firmly

To extinguish me

Brutally

My smile gone

My body lifeless

My babes wail

How could you?!

You were my Fireman

My hero

My daughter

My courageous girl

Help me please

911 she rang

Amidst fear and pain

She saved us

Life of lies

I made so many

Excuses

My daughter

My true heroine

I’m still here

Sham Fireman

Pathetic human

I survived

You fucked up

Do not close your eyes

I still fight

Fantasies

Of Reckoning Day

Engulf me

Prison for

The deadly Fireman

We demand

We smile again

We are not victims

We survived!
