Too Far

Life pushed him over the edge

By Lisa AkemiPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

His life set afire

Because no one could hear him -

Depression set in.

Water tried dousing

But the rage of his flame screamed -

Inner crying heard.

She was gentle breeze

Her love saw through to his heart -

And loved him as is.

Until Earth slung him

Back to the root of his wound -

He couldn’t take it.
