"Burn"
by Thomas M. Burgess


Standing a little too close, still I can't tell it's you,



Standing a little too close, to live in your version,



Standing a little too close, I cant hear any cries,



Burned out, the shell is only left,



Has it burned itself out yet?



You can't burn me again,



Standing a little too close, can't see my way clear,



Standing a little too close, can't take the heat,



Standing a little too close, I smell only the smoke,



Standing a little too close, can't trust anymore,



Burned out, the shell is only left,



Has it burned itself out yet?



You can't burn me again,



Standing a little too close, still can't get near,



Standing a little too close, not sure what to do?



Standing a little too close, drawn to the flame,



Standing a little too close, hanging on for a better time,





You can't burn me again.
