Today.....I died

My magnificent wings ripped away and trampled by the feet of millions. Violent violet tears streamed from my eyes as I watched them laugh with no thought or regard. My own sacrifice too much to take, left starving and broken, I have no strength left to fight. The sound of voices start to drown in the music in my head, but its gonna take along time to renew from this. Stripped again, here I am waiting to burn. Set me on fire and watch the colors blend and bleed. Only then can I be reborn, through the blaze of passion and devotion. Gasoline in my veins and an electric touch makes for an amazing explosion. The quake felt for miles and lasting years, I ride the lava down and rest for awhile at the bottom admiring the glow. Dowsing myself in hot water and boiling tears I wait. Cleanse the body and wait for the soul to follow, wait quietly, patiently for it to reach through. Stand back and enjoy the carnage when it arrives, there will be nothing left. Last one standing, I fly away leaving others to burn. The embers never smoldering, I survive forever; if only in memories.
