Fire

Past, future...

It ended

The days of uni
All ended

The dying inside feeling
The living outside sensation
Sensation

Sensation
The fire
The flames
Of the passing time

Of the lasting crime
Of
Of
Of
Of -
Killing time
Burning it

It ended

The days of uni
All ended
All ended

Stuck in rumination
Forever locked
Or so it seems
Forever... locked?

Forever
Eternity
The movement of the flames of the future
Playing childishly with one another
Excited, exciting, alluring

The garden
The fire of the ending of the ending of uni-
The fire of the past-
The flames of the future-

But after the ending:
A moth comes visiting the flame of tomorrow.

    I love how you built "stuck in rumination" into your poem in different ways. It read like an echo. And you know what, this is exactly how I felt while I was at uni... like stuck in an endless cycle of I don't even know what, but time was passing crazy fast. It even reminded me of when I was studying stuff I had to but wasn't interested in, I memorized them by repeated it hundred times. I hope you don't feel like dying inside anymore, and you'll find jobs and new passions that make you feel alive 🧡
