Fiery Pain

God, take my pain and give it a home.

Inside me it swells and makes me moan.

It’s fiery and crackles,

And burns with desire-

It just continues to rise even higher.

It blackens my lungs, my liver, my heart;

So much time has passed since the start.

My body, now a corpse, is heading to the grave-

It’s not like I could have even been saved.
