6 Feet Under

A fire burns within my soul1

As darkness cloaks my withered heart2

You have numbed my conscience, 3

I hear it no more.4

One would surely think5

This flame would start to dwindle6

But feeding on the oil of your words7

It has grown into an inferno.8

This cell is now my home,9

I welcome the vermin and the hate10

I embrace the tang of death,11

Metallic smell of blood...12

Goodnight good sir13

Hope you like it 6 feet under.14

    Not bad...The flow could use some improvement, some parts were fine with it, but others need a bit of work. Also, perhaps try putting it into stanzas, instead of one long thing, it may help it read smoother.

    On a lighter note, it was very deep and full of emotion, keep up the good work.
