The Fire Within

This is my tearless soul

lying aflame within me

as it burns a hole inside me

down into the very core

deep into the depths of me

reaching for the strengths of me

to leave me bitter and alone

and verily, where is my heart

it trembles, pleads and cries

and pounds with each last breath of me

fighting for the life of me

as the flames within are churning

and my heart is searching

for a drop of precious crystal water

to douce the firey pits within

anger, hate a rising flame

the painful heat grows again

searing my skin from the inside out

no tears within, a barren drought

the fire consuming, raging on

killng the life i have inside me

stealing the breath within me

until at last my soul is charred

leaving me barren and alone...
