Slow burn

shadowbones

No way out of this inferno

Helpless to the flames

Smile as I burn

 

Never felt so trapped

Barely breathing now

Laughing as it hurts

 

Another day I wake

Just won't pass through

The dark side of me

 

Fires in paradise

Inside of me

Dwindling

    This poem sounds as if hope is going out. It sounds of darkness or at least impending darkness. Well written

    I liked the simplicity of expression. Which paradoxically amplified the discomfort. Nice work 👍
