“Burn”

You burn me

like a toaster

burns toast.

Like a microwave

burns popcorn

You burn me!

You burn me

so deep

I can’t breathe anymore!

So deep

my heart aches!

I can feel it

crumbling

into a million little pieces.

Falling

forever falling.

Looking down there’s

a hole in my chest

and a pile of ash

at my feet.
