PAIN
sullen and silent
the weight was
intense
the room was filled
with emotions suppressed
eerily red and
glowingly black
they swirled in
the gloom
seething and twisting
flames became alight
the tendrils grew
twisted and parted
some dissipated
others departed
the time would
come
she knew that it
would
when all would
be gone
starlight would
come
