Age 10
The room went black
all you can hear is a heartbeat
and squeaking coming from the back
tear drops fall
splashing to the floor
her heart wills with smoke
lit with the anger of imperfection
the flame covers the room
devouring all in its path
the smoke overtakes it all
dark, black and neverending
the light at the end grows farther and farther away
until nothings left but darkness
and the air tightens
its hard to breath
movement heard ahead
then nothing
nothing
but the faint call of a distant friend
or maybe just the memory of one
