There's a fire in my throat
burning
a raging wild fire
of things I cannot find the words to say
gray smoke
pours feebly from my mouth
I can feel my heart choking
as I try to let it all out
conveyance fizzles in to ashes
I'd blame myself
but you were the one who struck the match
leaving me with embers
and charcoal
