Can You?

I can see it all clearly in my head
Can you?
I can feel the heat from the fire blazing against my skin
Can you?
I can taste the liquid burning its way down my throat
Can you?
I can see the stars from the night sky shining over me as I watch them silently
Can you?
I can hear the animals of the night come out from where they hide to join the world
Can you?
I can see it all clearly in my head
Can you?
