Orphaned

Burning tears, please don't flood my heart.

Wincing, away from watching eyes,
She clutched her knees to stop
Burning tears from scorching,
Evidence of the depth, summised
Into the chain of feelings, thoughts
Hidden in every beat of heart's ache.

Fading, she feels herself falling
Falling like ashes of non-existence,
Burning tears raged inside her
The whirpool of fire trailing
To the throat. The shaking churns,
Her blood thins, so everything blurs.
