I run to the shadows
A scream trapped deep
The world blazes
By unworthy heat
I am tethered to the fire
Each spark a lash
Deserving pain I kneel
No mercy no light no chance
The pits yawn wide, call my name
Dragging me deeper to the flame
Grief coils tight a sharpened blade
In this void only me.
My breath is ash my soul a ghost
In this blackened world
No solace comes
Only the echo of my silent cries
