Hero’s Path-Embers of Love and Hate
Ma’am, can you tell me how the fire started?
The officers voice fades beneath the shattering glass
The windows to our home fracture under the stress of the heat
The heat of the flames fills me with its warmth
Hugged in my newfound strength
In its embrace I remember for the last time the weight of my pain
Weight of my tears, as I lay in the agony you created
Remember how I sobbed quietly, afraid to wake you
How it felt to watch you sleep peaceful
Those hands tucked beneath your chin
The hands that once held my worth
Hands that showed love
Showed hate
Did you know there is a fine line between the two?
I had always imagined a stranger would come.
Someone to give me a power meant for me
A gift beyond dreams
Strength few could comprehend
With this I would find my escape
Find the missing pieces
Shattered by your hands
