( Alone With A Soul - Insanity)

By Danw

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Did you hear that? Did I say that? Can you feel it? Am I alive? The horrific flames surround me burning my skin, The cries of terrified children haunt me Why do they scream? The screams are getting louder, almost deafening My safety has gone, the flames draw closer The walls are getting smaller but the flames still rage Closer ......Closer I cannot hear you Darkness imprisons me and all that I see Please god help me! Yesterday will soon be here and tomorrow will be history The past is the future and the future is the past but the present brings only pain Of people slowly slain, their tortured souls fill my head The flames have now consumed me, tearing away my flesh and haunting my fragile soul. Am I dead? Everything is still, and dances Written December 22nd, 2000 © on Mar 18 2002 06:52 AM PST   10 • 0
