Flames
Flame
Ignite the end of the white baton and breathe in deep
Watch the crimson ash flicker with each
Pull pull pull. Release.
Pull in all the momentary kindness
the feeling of
release relaxation regret
momentary satisfaction with the
ever present inevitability of future agony
erase the worries and stress just
Pull. Release.
Knowing it will be over soon
One flash of brief
Pleasure perfection promise
He can change, he will change
This time is different
Pull. Release
The moment ends
Pain begins, nausea, heart palpitations, watery eyes
Fire is gone only darkness left
Ash
