Pained Projection

Beyond the glass the shadows lurk

The darkness which envelops your heart

The tingling sensation at your fingertips

Reminds you of the numbness inside


A projected image of a blazing fire

Somehow, it burns even more

Knowing it can't be extinguished

No matter how many tears fall


It isn't fair, it's just not fair!

What did I do to deserve this??

But the lamenting and the screams are not heard

And are enveloped within the glass as well


As they say, fight fire with fire

I guess we'll see whose burns brighter

So I surrounded my soul with fuel

And lit the match which would end my reality
