Empty seashell life expired
these feelings of a desolated spirit
for the passage forward dark, enigmatic
no comprehension of travelling alone.
A casualty to solitary confines
never to be released, no arms to enfold
cradled in a vacuum of painful privation
soul now incomplete, withering away.
It seems so cold in this hell of ashes
yet flaming barriers claw denial
the ghosts of memories ice the heart
that once was feathered in radiant warmth.
