Incoherent Agony
The heart breaks open.
Flame erupts, engulfing the veins.
The blood boils, steam spews forth.
Pain constricts lungs.
Pain turns to hate,
Hate to rage,
Rage to malice.
A fury never known, never conceived.

Fire under the skin.
Muscles contract.
Lungs tighten.
Body quakes.
Sight tunnels, seeing only red.

Air escapes the constrictor.
Muscles fall limp.
Darkness sets in.
Body collapses.

A wasted heap.
Despair.
Sorrow.
A burnt out flame.
Helpless.
Hopeless.
