A story told in rhyming couplets

So, I was experimenting with rhyming couplets, now you get this insanity.

Flames licking at the crumbling walls

nothing escapes these ashen halls

Scrambling to escape, for a chance to flee

Remembering the needles off the tree

A reckless wish of things to end

Us too, to death, the boy did send

He only wished for himself a home

A place that he would never know

The boy had fled his only shelter

Embracing death as he held her

The torture he could take no more

He broke, his thoughts were torn

To gather supplies that he would need

The flames of his rage for him to feed

Pine needles kindle a burning rage

The boy had finally escaped his cage

Holding the only thing he ever loved,

Embracing her as the floor seeped with blood

A scream escapes to pierce no ears

No person to hear this strangled fear

A feathery tingle of icy breath

you cannot cheat the claws of death
