And when I die don't say goodbye for death is just my beginning.

All-consuming fire,
embers scorn all flesh involved.
Its tendons, unnoticed,
silently release its poison.
Quick as a knife
we are severed.
Flames spread like wildfires;
fast, furious, relentless.
Engulfing everything in its path,
sowing only destruction.
This common disease remains
cureless.
We remain defenseless
at the hands of
lust.
