My heart pounds with stifled breathe.
Minutes seem like hours as I stand there, helpless and ashamed.
Still I watch your burning silhouette through the sheer blinds that shake as you writhe and scream.
There's nothing I can do.
No one to call to stop the pain.
The fire has consumed you now. All I can do is watch in horror until you convulse and collapse.
Now it is silent, except for the pounding in my chest against my stifled breath.
The patio light shines on me like a spotlight on a circus clown.
I creep quietly away, cold and alone,
because your fire no longer burns for me.
