My Final Plea
For Mark
I stand within the flames of hells fires
Pained paralysis preventing
Escape
The black flames scorch my skin
Slowly eating flesh from bone
Destroying me piece by burning piece
I collapse to my knees in painful silence
My hands clasped together in prayer
My lips still, the words too painful to speak
Tears pour from my eyes
As I watch you destroy yourself
Unknowingly destroying me
The needles are devoured by your flesh
Your body writhes as the demons take control
My heart bleeds with agony
As your soul is wrenched from your eyes
Your body crumbles
Conquered by pure evil
The evil you chose over me
As you slowly slip away
And choke on your dying breaths
I take your hand in mine
Tears stream down my cheeks, as I feel the warmth fading from your fingers
I gaze down into your already lifeless eyes
And I feel my heart erupt in flames
As I walk away from you I leave my heart behind - a pile of ashes
Ashes to be buried alongside you
