im alone

the single poppy in a burning field

itll only be a matter of time till i burn away too

ill share in the phoenix's delight
as i am reborn in the dreams
of those whose hearts bleed
from longing and wanting
what theyll never have

ill be the soporific dream
induced by despair and drugs
that pollute the body
with their promise of forgotten memories
and redemption

and by the time this is read
ill be nothing again.
