Total Destruction

As the screams of despair go unheard,
The flames of destruction burn unchecked.
No one can see her,
Hiding in the open.
Surrounded by pain,
Succumbing to the heat.
She gives up crawling through the heated embers,
And watches as her world burns down.
Surrounded by flames,
She looks up and screams....
Why can no one see me?
Why doesn't anyone come for me?
Sifting through the ashes,
There is no trace left behind.
