My insides scream, trapped in a halo
of overwhelming desire to burn, burn
burn and run; cry out as I float away
to that what I see beyond, yonder,
far from these childish cravings of a
life well lived and lessons learned
painfully; the twitches and shudders
of groans and moans lay still in the
rudders of insanity, claw fiercely against
these crimson strings, twanged amidst
the pangs of flesh;
subsiding tinges growing
shades of grey as everything wanes
away, deep, dark, further and further from
all I have ever known.
