~Kai's POV~
I stood there, tears rushing down my face. I hold Nya in my arms as she cries into my chest. My parents... They died... in the fire... I tried to help them escape but they were too slow. I somehow got out alive since they were in front of me. Nya was already outside playing when the fire started. The fire department just finished up. Never even noticed us. I'm only 13... Nya's only 12... How're we going to survive now? I decided to sing softly to Nya.
"Things we lost to the flames
Things we'll never see again
All that we've amassed
Sits before us, shattered into ash," I turned around with Nya still in my arms. I started walking down the middle of the street. It seemed like everything was in slow-motion. I look straight ahead and feel the tears slowly trickle down my cheeks.
"These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
We sat and made a list
Of all the things that we had
Down the backs of table tops
Ticket stubs and your diaries," I look around, everything still in slow-motion. I see my parents standing on the sidewalk. I continue walking as they both slowly disappear.
"I read them all one day
When loneliness came and you were away
Oh they told me nothing new,
But I love to read the words you used
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
I was the match and you were the rock
Maybe we started this fire
We sat apart and watched
All we had burned on the pyre," I see younger kids playing soccer in a nearby field, unbeknowest to them that a family was just destroyed by the starting of a single flame.
"You said we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
You said we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
These are the things we lost in the fire fire fire," Nya suddenly falls to the ground; eyes closed, tear-stained cheeks, and not breathing. I try and wake her up. I start crying over her. Then start singing softly, my voice cracking and shaking from my sobs.
"Flames – they licked the walls
Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore."
