Burning

I'm screaming for mercy
For the bouts of pain to rest
The pain that bleeds right through
The aching in my chest
You've stabbed me in the heart
And the blood is on my face
Leaking through my eyes
From an empty, starving place
I once was rising among the clouds
Now diving off of the cliff called life
To feel nothing but the whispering air
Than the brokeness and strife
I keep you in my dreams
And burned into my mind
I imagine your touch to sooth me down
And help my grief unwind
My mind is now empty
Of all love and touch
My soul is now burning
From dying so much
I may not ever see you again
Or hear your voice to light
You now burn amongst my memory
Where my soul's hand holds your tight
