My eyes are on fire
Burning brighter
Among the ethanol
Lost my way
Still I desire
For the wondrous view to stay
Before my eyes
There's ashy trails
Where I am soon to arrive
It's dirty light
How it illumines
I could forgive all
In its wake
I can’t see
Too far ahead
And what I see
Becomes bright red
As the flames lick my head.
I tried to close my eyes,
But my brain is set ablaze
And neurons spark
Like fireworks in a maze
The phoenix memories;
I feel them scorch and rise
again.
I exhale them for a few seconds
A sweet mockery of choice
Within the smoke
I've lost my voice
There is a fire inside of me.
It consumes and blazes trails
For me to walk.
I only wish I knew
My way back.
