Rain Can't But Out Fire
As the flames rise,
i'll remember what you told me,
"I wish you would drown in the rain",
just remember who got you out,
The fire rises to the second level,
its getting warming in here,
where was your room,
its hard to see though all this smoke,
Your laying on the bed,
face buried under your pillow,
As i stumble out of the house,
i feel you breath upon me,
i just it happened a different way,
The boards crackle,
the fire has taken control,
The explosion knocks you from my grasps,
i land on the porch,
i remember when we would lay upon the lawn,
with you in my arms,
just looking up at the stars,
but as my vison comes back,
your out side while i am stuck,
"Give me your hand", as you extend your arm,
"Remember what you said"
you didnt mean it,
and i know it,
the door that helped you exscape from me,
comes down to punish me...
it needs some work, and im still working on it.

i like mucho. one thing i might suggest though, the two last lines end with me, it sounds kind of redundant, unless redundancy was your effect, i would change it, because having the words rhyme kind of sacrifices the overall effect, thats the only thing i can see though, other than that it owns.

but i think the fire will take me first
does that ending sounds better then before? feedback on that please

haha, i know what you mean. i put it back in for the reader to feel as if it was the last words he said. that would make her feel bad and keep that memory.
