burning within
deep inside the blinding dark
it starts with a spark
a tiny flash of light
that sets a fire
an ill spoken word
possibly misheard
a sour tone in the voice
put there by choice
with passing moments the fire builds
looks that kill
sharp words slice through the air
damage everywhere
ripping and tearing at the mind
projecting fire in the eyes
scorching and burning and turning black
building and raging and turning to ash
consuming
controling
pushing
pulling
huffing
sighing
cursing
crying
clinching my fist and grinding my teeth
trying to resist the release that i need
holding it back as to not make a scene
not letting go is not helping me
now as it all builds up inside
i sit here and stew as the fire burns wild
ive bitten my tongue for the most part again
and left the bulk of the fire burning within
