One flicker of doubt

spreads wildly.

A flickering fire

licking at my soul

unashamedly

out of control.

Does he love me?

Lome me not?

Uncertainty in

burns of 3rd degree,

stinging thoughts

blaze

from the unknown.

Loves wonder

smolders alive

in flames

of doubt.

Unsureness

of what will be,

castrating insecurities

wished to be

banished out.

Impossible now,

grossly engulfed

by life's cruel

flames - -

Slowly,

painfully,

I quietly succumb

to death

brought on 

by asphyxiation

of our love,

burning.

Choking.

Suffocating...

on clouds 

of doubt.
