A Dragon's Fire

A friend suggested me

a couple of days back.

Holding my hand

trying to rescue 

my depressed heart,

“Don't let the fire

inside you,

burn you down.

Don't let the pain

keep hurting you

all the time.

Let your fire out

burn like a torch

enlighten the path

to the one who are lost,

or burn that forest

with your anger

and frustration.

Still if its not out

burn me

to purify my soul.

Shine like gold,

shine like gold

oh! my friend

don't let your fire

burn you down

Don't swallow the pain

with mourning sound.”

I could only smile

Adios Amigo

I wave to leave

goodbye.

I turned and talked to myself,

“How he would know

about my story

the life I live in

and the sorrows I have been.

Am a dragon

all my life.

Breathing the fire

forever inside.

If I let it out

it would consume

everything around.

Will tear down the planet

and finish every loving sound.

So I swallow

I swallow

all the pains I have

am used to being in this agony

suffer myself all my life

fire always be on

'coz that my life defines.”

They called me the poetess

of darkness

my emotions of pain

pour in sadness

I am no Lady, no princess.

But a Dragon

with burnt heart.

I mourn at my soul

there will be no melody to hold

the screams are my music

and silence is my sole.

This is my future and my past

there will be no change

never I can be whole.

I take turns

I try to run

But before my wound

could heal

the dragon slayer

seize me to slaughter

and once again

I have fallen

with new wounds

with me.

That pit of darkness

with no voice to scream

the tears roll down

in the cold night

my only warm thing.

I cling on to 'em

at least they never deceived.

What can be said

for a dragon's life in hell

who breathes but

I can't let that fire out

for there is too much to stake.

So I swallow,

I choose to swallow,

I swallow my agony

and my tears

the fire can be furious

but only inside.

Let it burn me

but only inside.

That's my story

my friend.

There will be another reason

there will be a different slayer

but it will be the same end

for every story

I have in my life.

I will burn inside

I will burn inside.

Let my fire be furious

but only inside.

Let it burn me
but only inside.
