a poem

fury like burning embers licks its way up my throat,
suffocating me,
choking out the light.
this pain. charring my heart,
creating a scream
my lips cannot yet utter.
torment so alive,
it cannot help but destroy
all it touches.
my mind begs for mercy,
but it turns a deaf ear.
there is no escape.
from this agony.
from this pain.
from you.
