The strange phenomena blinds you
With the force of odourless stench
It confuses you within the soul
And breathes upon regret
You pack your things, your valuables
And leave an open door
Set sail upon a road of tar
To never return, no more
But then there is a moment
When far beyond the sky
You watch the creature burning
And devour your inside
Hope goes up in flames
Pity is covered with smoke
Grief is buried under the earth
And loss you surely choke
Years and years they pass
For you to not return
But when you do, you cry
To see what's all be burned
The remains of your canine
The scorched mark of room
The blood of your enemies
The doll upon the broom
Insurance does kick in
And your life starts to rebuild
But the memories lost
Will never seem to sheild
