Cold Fire

by Lori I Wolfe

Madness comes ... I call to you
Within night’s shadow you appear 
Hidden behind closed eyes
I whisper with jagged edges
Screaming in crimson
I run in diameter upon your stains
Darkness falls through broken glass
Smothering out your flame
 
I’m blackened from your fire 
Blinded with empty passion
I exhale all your fragrance 
As I drown inside my pain
 
A drum drips into pools of red
As hands tick in the passing of time
The phone rings in silent pleas
Waiting inside the walls of insanity
I listen now to your mute melody
While washing off the ash of memory
Cleansing out my tomb of bitterness
Exhausted now from the hidden truths
 
I’m blackened from your fire
Blinded with empty passion
I exhale all your fragrance 
As I drown inside my pain
 
Pounding echoes through emptiness
Lost now within the tainted waters
Blades slip deep beneath the surface
Releasing the imprisoned phantasms
As my soul drifts in a sea of decay
I weep your memory nonexistent
Unfolding me into the cold depth of nothing
 
I'm drowning ... drowning 
inside the cold flames
I'm drowning ... drowning
within my pain
