Being Burned From the Inside

The words you speak spark my anger inside,
Every word is more fuel for the fire.
Your words invade me and degrade me.
The anger swells and the fire spreads.
It flecks at my heart and singes the edges.

Being burned from the inside.

Another fight and my heart burst into flames,
Slowly disintegrating into a blacken shell.
The fire burns and consumes, breathing chaos in its path.
The air disappears from my lungs,
Smoke fills my veins.

Being burned from the inside.

My body turns numb,
I don't mind the pain.

Being burned from the inside.

The fire dies,
The damage done,
As my ashes float away in the wind.

Being burned from the inside.
