Crematorium

fire all around me
an impending sense of doom
i don't know left from right
nothing but light in the room

i try to escape
this tomb of fire
wide awake
as my clothes turn to ash

was all of my life a lie
is this really the end
will my family ever be the same

with this sense of loss
with this burning in my flesh
with my eyes open wide
i feel my skin begin to melt

i fall to my knees
no sense in trying to escape
i accept death
as the smoke fills my lungs

did my life have purpose
can this really be the end
laying on the floor

dying
crying
frying

this pain i feel
is unbearable
my fate
is unchangeable

death by fire
i scream
burning to death
this is the end

the fire consumes me
this life is no more
as my mouth opens for the last time
one word escapes my lips

the name of the place
where i spent my final hour
where my soul will always linger
where silent screams
echo into eternity

this place
this tomb
this
Crematorium
