Immolation
Written on 09.23.2021
Rivers of fire burn through her heart
Trails of smoldering ash in their wake
An orange and yellow blaze in the dark
Slithering through veins like a red-hot snake
Hissing and flickering its flaming tongue
It coils as it broils her insides
The heat touches her voice, her lungs
Charring flesh until her voice dies
Choking and sputtering
As the flame dances and plays
Smoking and shuddering
As she goes up in a blaze
Becomes but cinder
And ash, and dust
Incinerated what's in her
The death of trust
