everything is burning
yes, burning
from the ceiling,
to the f
             l
              o
                o
                  r
from the roof of my
                                   mouth
to the tips of my
                             toes
they are curled

and im drowning
begging to end
existence
suffering
love
loss
hate
anger
regret
longing
hope
depleting
sad­ness
returning

help me end it
lust
confusion
pain
so much pain
crying
torture
loneliness

i
stand
         nothing
                      to gain

please please **please
