Nathan Killeen

Fires burn my lifeless flesh
As I sink into the ground
Flames diminish as sun abates
But wounds are fresh
...

My eyes open, hellish blaze
Homes lit, inferno, town’s been razed

Monstrous swarm, full blown assault
...

I look around, what do I see?
Planes of flames unknown to me.

Fire licking at my feet
...

Blood flows out
From open wounds

I left myself behind
...

I lie here now, what do I feel?
Shards of iron and of steel.

Torturer’s whip is overbearing
...

Shifting silence,
Eternally dark

From my void
...

Tearing at my heart
Blood runs away

Dripping from a blade
...

Lava hot; frost bitter cold
Both’s domain this place doth hold

Frozen foot and burning tear
...

Time beats on through all of us.
Building us up
Only to tear us to pieces.
...

Shell so fragile, full of emptiness

Weeping inwards filling tears
Crying outward, no one hears
...

Claws tear into my flesh.
Demons.
My demons
Created by me
...

Needles tear into my flesh,
Feasting on my sustenance.
Eggs they lay to return anew,
When corpse goes back to grave,
...

Burning rain
Falls down on me
Sears away my flesh
Pain uncountable
...

I was human once
When there were days,
But sunlight fled into the night
Leaving me in darkness.
...

By wisps of mist
My soul was kissed

Beginning my addiction.
...

Shards of thought
Flit about
Tearing my apart my mind
...

Heart beats on in endless song
Crying out for joy

Love
...

Here dawns my tale about a youth
And the story that he told.
This tale he told, it was the truth
So watch this tale unfold
...

Heart soars
through blinding haze,
touched by you,
your lifelong grace.
...
