Burned at the Stake

By Yukionna

I watched my world
Fall to ashes at my feet
I saw as you destroyed
Everything that was precious to me
I felt you rape my thoughts
And discover all my secrets
I hurt when you turned away
Everyone that was nearest

Will you burn me too now?
Burn me at the stake
I opened up to you
A fatal mistake
Now you see
My lifelong enemy
Now you feel
The power thta flows through me
It brought me into life
This curse, this ability
It brings me now to my death
At the stake of society

I stand so still
I do not make a sound
I feel as you rip my clothes
And toss them to the ground
I am vagley aware
As your claws dig into my skin
I feel the vibrations
As you taunt about my sins

Will you burn me now
Like so many before
Burn what you fear
Burn what you should adore

You're jelous of my beauty
You hate me for my life
You destroy me for my power
You thrive upon my strife

Let the flames lick my body
Let them curl up in my soul
For when I die I will release my power
Which no one can control
