Firefighting

Tones Sound,
Trucks roll.
Hearts pound,
Fear controls.
Fire's revenge is mighty and swift.
As it goes it makes an evil hiss.
Firefighters go down every day,
Without reason it's just their way.
That's how Daddy always wanted to go,
Why that is I'll never know.
Terror so deep it strikes the heart,
Will tonight be the night we part?
Awake and alone she sits and stares,
Nothing for company but empty chairs.
Will tonight she meet the men,
that tell her too soon he meant his end?
Tortured souls,
and empty tears.
What will be the outcome of this she fears.
They say love can heal all wounds,
Will this be the one that ends it all too soon?
