The Towers Last Breath

I feel the pain
The overwhelming intolerable pain
As fuel drips from the wreckage
Imbedded within me

Igniting into searing hot flames
Eating at me
Burning me
Destroying me from within

GET OUT!

Please, all of you get out
I will hold myself together
For as long as I can
To try and give you time

To find a path to safety
But you must move fast
Because the fire in me
Is growing

Weakening me
With every passing moment
I feel myself shaking
With the exertion of my waning strength

I struggle to steady myself
So you will have more time
To escape
The tears within my soul overflow

From the pain that is consuming me
And from the shame
I feel I have failed you
I should be stronger

I should be able to protect you
To keep you safe within my walls
But I can't

And because of my weakness
Some of you will perish
And join me
In another existence

HURRY!

Please God, let them hurry
I beg you, let me be strong
For just one more minute
The end is near

I can feel it closing in upon me
My strength is used
And not everyone is out
So with my last breath
