Burning

I'm saved
You pull my fingers off the deck
You pluck me wriggling from the rain

I'm saved
You cast me up into the wind
You shove my body from the skin

I'm saved
The fire looking at the warmth
You drag me burning 'cross a court

I'm ashamed
Lying fallen on some step
Clutching at the empty air

I'm awake
I see you walk into the room
You do the thing I couldn't do

I'm afraid
Am I burning for prints on the floor?
The things I don't need anymore

I'm awake
I wait
I wait
