Maybe if i stare he'll come faster.


I try not to think
And i try not to feel
The fire burning through my chest.

It singes the edges
Of a once whole heart,
Becoming jagged and hallow.

The only thing keeping me alive
Is a rage that isn't visible on the outside
But consumes the inner.

I am powered by this feeling
But must shade my eyes
A vacant gray.

For no one can see me wallow in this sorrow
And no one must notice my light
That has been burnt out
By you.

This piece certainly makes use of imagery very well. Nice job.
