help.

this is darker than the dead of night

i tried to scream but my tongue is tied

i hear nothing but my ears are aching

my bones are melting

my muscles are stiffening 

reaching out, but I trapped

i feel paralyzed

when will this end?

then I hear a whisper

"it's over."

ah.

my lips formed a simper

until I saw a flood of fire
