Melting

My brain roars like a fire
Brings thoughts I don't desire
They burn away my body
Smoke makes my vision foggy
I'm suffocating
I'm sick of hating
The way my head burns
So much to unlearn

I'm melting
Skin falls off my bones
I'm melting
In here all alone

Walking on burning embers
I don't want to remember
I want to float on water
The room is getting hotter

Drowning in my memory
I still feel the same
Thinking creates clarity
It ignites the flame
Tears fall then evaporate
But can make the flame deflate
Back and forth they go each day
Slowly melting me away

I'm melting
Skin falls off my bones
I'm melting
In my brain all alone
