Sapphire eyes

Made by fire

And burned by years

Created to search

They search

Scanning the crowd

Making a point

To avoid the walls

Shiny toy guns

Slippery flesh

Glistening

Holding them back

Fire swallows whole

Builds up ash

Suffocates and destroys

But is oh-so beautiful

Years pack on

Pounds

Pain

The weight behind the fire

Searching for some escape

From all the zombies

They walk in circles

Drunken

Something so beautiful

That wants to escape

After all,

Sapphires cannot reflect

They don't see

The blood and red

Of flames that surround them

They only see the true colors

The only color

They can be

Different,

And dangerous

Sapphire eyes

Made by fire

Created through pain

Searching for escape
