Consequences

By: Jeff C Jones

Dire consequences
mislead senses
diseased flesh
locked in an iron mesh
downcast eyes
broken ties
love lost
my life tossed
into open flames
never to be tamed
i die right now
i don't know how
you're lost and gone
i sing my lonely cold song
nothing to lose
nothing to gain
my body so bruised
my life lie slain
death comes tonight
and endless sleep
my soul filled with fright
burning in hell- i weep
