Black Flames
Penance for a heart in pain is a sleepless night,
lost in the wandering thoughts of the cause.
Undying black flames of the past
burning a hole in the pit of the soul.
From the top the cliff fell and
sucked into the dark abyss.
Avoiding a chance to meet anew, start afresh.
Crying for a chance to heal.
Searching for a way out in the pitch black blind.
Run away again or stay firm can not decide.
Heal me! heal me! the black flames are burning.
This time it is different. It is deep and distress is at its peak.
