Metaphors

15/3/09
I wish I could just sit in a corner
As a fire burnt everything down around me
Closing in so quickly
So it wasn’t just a metaphor anymore.

I wish I could just sit in a corner
And watch my life burn to the ground
Closing in so quickly
I’m so fed up with metaphors.
I wish I could just cry in a corner
As I watch my hand strike a match
And cast everything into flames
And shadows dance on the walls
Pointing, laughing, burning, screaming,
Mocking
Because this is only a metaphor.

I wish I could just sit in a corner
And feel the heat from the flames
As I prepare to burn
So it wasn't just a metaphor anymore.
