I see you first

I focus on the smell of the smoke filled air entering my lungs. I begin to see the embers glowing red as my eyes slowly close. I start to sink, down, down, down I have no sense of time as I look at myself standing there. I call our to you with a voice that is searching

Can you hear me
Will you hear me

I know you can answer yes with assurance, but don't let that be forever. Maybe "no" is safer for you if you'd take some advice from another.
