Up In Smoke


The smothered inferno crawls through the atmosphere, a soft whisper of relief, a gasp for breath. It lingers, yet stands as still as the time around us. This endless cycle of remorse chokes me, holding me as I tremble. Blackening my vision as I blacken my lungs. Struggling for breath as I struggle for life. This burnt evidence, my clouded regret is only a reminder that I am not dead yet.
