The Fire Rages On

The bandages that wrap my 
Heart fibers are 
Embedded in the music of
Fire turn rhythmically around.
I can't take you out of me like a
Rap humming tune unfocused and groggy
External driven broken clock. 
Rage, within me, yet I cannot stop crying
And the terrors of the night are 
Grim; being left alone to 
Endure internal anguish. It
Seems impossible that you are gone. 

Our souls were one, though I don't know why;
Now it's a tearful good-bye.

wow, so sad and heartfelt this is. I can't wait to try my hand at one of his titles that grabbed me. It's one I can try to do as a sonnet form because the letters in the words add up to 14 !!
