Perpetual Fire

Perpetual Fire

Jaded temptations linger
within broken promises
of passion
and desire
as the devastation rages
in endless seas of fire.
Trying in vain to feel,
the perpetual fire dies,
the flame lost,
extinguished,
within a heart of ice
devoid of emotion.

Running ramped
in dreams of empty pleasure,
there exists a darkness,
a drive of vengeance,
captured in isolation.
Counted only by hours
in eternal loneliness,
the line between reality
and fantasy
wavers
as time
slowly
ticks
away.
