Hhhrrrrrrrrrtttttt

I.
I am red on black
Orange burning against my shut eyes
So full and so filled
Overflow
Out pours a trail of smoke
And do I fade away?
Only to return with yet more rage

II.
Heart of a word not yet created
Bitter full of yearning
Take a step in the left direction
Inflections
Referring to the title
Heart of a word not yet imagined
Too much of something
Burning

III.
Blaze like snow in the sun
She knew he was the one
Too full of fire to ever back down
Now he has her
She begins to drown

IV.
Drown like an addict with the next fix

V.

Ignis Veritas et Ultio

"Ignis!"
She screamed
Woke shivering and blinking in the dark
Another violent dream
Another pounding heart

The night was freezing and colder
Frost glittering on the grass
She shivered and sweated lightly
Caught up in the past

"Veritas"
She whispered
Calming but still on edge
Biting words still haunting
She silently thought about what they meant

The door stood open
Her fear beating into the night
She was so alone
Dreams holding her too tight

"Et ultio!"
She smiled
Plans already taking form
Arms clasped around herself
In the darkened room

She lay back still smiling
Eyes easing shut
Dreams swirling around her
Sunrise creeping up

Ring around the rosy
Pocket full of posies
Ashes
Ashes
We all fall down
V
V Feet first
V Head full of useless words
V Hands clutching the passing wind
V And you know you'll never get out again
V Because you don't want to face the truth
V You want to believe he loves you
V You know he's just going to let you down
V Children should be encouraged to drown
V You run, stumble, trip, fall
V You keep running into walls
V Monsters in the dark
V And hoping for the sun behind the curtain
V Now you're more than certain
V You never had a chance at all
V You were always falling
V Poor, pathetic you
V
It's 8:50 AM. Do you know where your children are?
