Burning Regret

There is nothing but empty eyes staring into the bright fire.

Heavy darkness burns around you, cold against the flickering flames

The silence eats at you

As does the memories you’ve come to burn away

Scattered thoughts of shameful feelings ignite against the blackened sky

Bringing you back to times since past

You want nothing more then to forget

So here you sit, waiting for the fire to burn it all away

Pleading with your mind in hopes of cleansing all the pain away

It's a foolish feeling

Wanting young innocence to die

But it's hard to make a peaceful mind

When all you feel is deep regret
