I sit frozen among the flames
They reach up around me
Cradling in the only way they know how
Below them feelings offer fuel
I stare blankly through the light
Smoke blinding and light suffocating
Looking back can't smother their thirst
Forward they lick and feast
I sit frozen among the flames
Helpless to stop them
Knowing they will consume me
Their arms wrapping around
I find no comfort in their unwelcome embrace
Crushing heat breaks down certainty
Solutions melted by their anger
Questions offering tinder for their hunger
I sit frozen among the flames
