Gluttony

I stand alone, ablaze In the pouring rain Inside of a vacuum, I SCREAM! In silence, raging in flames The rain cannot help me Nothing can It cannot extinguish my misery It cannot extinguish my pain No, it need not For I am cold again A blanket of ice, hath covered my heart! And hardened. Frozen… TO THE CORE! For days, I am stagnant, I feel nothing… ONLY YOUR FEAR! It is delicious. But then, the fire grows Once again, inside of my heart! No! It melts the frozen stone! It cannot melt the stone! It protects. It protects… me.
