Analysis of Suffocating Flame
The flame of desire
Through my heart burns
A slow smoldering cinder
Eating away
What is there left to burn?
The bright flames
Have long since died down
When all that’s left is ashen embers
Long grown dim by the biting night
What heat is there left to find?
Can one truly call smolders a fire?
As they come and go
Bringers of heat and woe and the like
Bundles in a pyre
By what means are they set alight?
