Paper Burn

it comes unbidden, without warning

like mt. vesuvius

it explodes

into a gajillion million

invisible pieces

i see myself fractured

splintered

red hot lava pouring down

unstoppable

it drowns anyone in its path

mercilessly

5 years of constant dripping

drop upon drop upon drop

no, make that 17 years of hell

or 22

or maybe it's just always 

been like that

and i never really noticed

until one day

it became too much

and i

exploded
