Sweet Deadly Release

Your eyes start burning
It's now raining ash
It was inevitable
As this volcano erupts

After years of build up
The pressure was immense
Blowing her top
Was the only release

Now all you can do
Is sit and wait
See where her lava flows
As you plan your escape

Leaving a fiery path
Where ever she goes
Turning living things
Into black and burnt

You choke on the air
You try to breath in
Smelling only the brimstone
From the burning cinge

Either she will choke you with her hold
From lack of oxygen
Or she'll burn you to oblivion
With her path of destruction

She is so dangerous
In so many ways
Will you be a surviver of her
Or will you cease to remain
