Flames lick at my eyes
Leaving their vicious residue
Biting at the vessels
Bleeding out into view
Screaming! Screaming!
Water runs in futile attempt
To subdue the air as it scratches
With poison on its claws
And pain on its tongue
Burning! Burning!
The world is a haze
Corrupted before even meeting
My melting pupils
I'm shaking in purest agony
Crumbling, collapsing,
My only escape - darkness
Eyelids tight, hiding
The fragile white of my eyes
A short relief, but slowly
Burning through the door,
The fire does not end.
