Scorched Tongue

The Last Flame

By Andrea Corwin Published 2 months ago • Updated 4 days ago • 1 min read

Burned

My tongue is scorched,

not on hot coffee or

French fries

No, it was on

You, until

I torched your ass, your fucking fool

You wanted it all, removing your band

- that ring on your finger

Hiding in persona bigger than my sky, or

experience, but others guessed and

burned my heart speaking truth, it

sizzled from their eyes to my ears

So then

I burned you

Ended your games and stopped the flames

Spotlighted your lying rotten soul

so you could have no more

Truth of your blatant bloating braggadocio

burst from me, a flame thrower of brimstone

blotting out the bullshit you spewed

I bravely burned

and consummated you in hell’s boundary.

I see you, behind the blazing flames that

block you from me

Your tongue is scorched and covered in

sutures and seams, sizzling.

FEEL the burn.

I ended your psycho presence and put it to flames.

FEEL the burn.

Took me awhile to find it as the link didn't work. Well, this certainly is a hellfire of anguish and blasting with edginess! Thank you for giving my Unofficial Challenge a go Andi!

Powerful and full of rage, towards a cheater. The imagery you showed is intense. Nicely Done Andrea.

I’m struck by how you turn exposure into liberation. Calling out deception becomes an act of self-preservation and the flames feel cleansing rather than destructive.

“I bravely burned and consummated you in hell’s boundary.“ some powerful imagery here, Andi. Hope it’s not from recent personal experience, sounds like teens’ games.

So potent I can feel the heat and the rage you feel through your words. Love the rawness of it.
