This is absolutely brilliant. I have to agree with what dear Katherine said about the gorgeous metaphor that you used in the last two lines! This is truly phenomenal. With such few words you were able to paint a very colorful, vivid image!

Now, first of all, let's start with the fact that you chose an ocean as your centerpiece for a "fire" prompt, and not only did you get away with it, but you actually blew it out of the water (pun fully intended).  You made that fire-ocean personal and tangible: I glanced at my skin askance because it felt like my own ocean-of-blood was on fire.  And then when you pair that with the deceptively simple yet utterly perfect metaphor of waves of emotional longing...............
 

Suffice to say that my heart will be aching -- in the most beautiful of ways -- for the entire rest of the evening.  At least.  

Another fantastic typewriter piece, my dear!  I am love, love, loving this series!!!

I have to confess that when the idea first sparked, my inner dialogue went more or less like this:
-No! Babe that's entirely bonkers! 
-I know right?!? Let's do it!   

So both me and my bouncy muse are really truly happy you found it worked well. (Also, that little exploding emote made my day, lol.)

a million shards of regret
stabbing, hacking through my veins
memories that once brought me such joy
are now the grotesque wraiths of my nightmares
their soulless eyes vacuum my heart from my chest
clawing at me endlessly, they threaten to consume me wholly

this is nothing short of amazing! your writing is so gorgeous!!!

Da questa poesia posso capire che quando l'hai scritta hai avuto una giornata storta. Comunque hai fatto un'ottimo lavoro perchè hai messo tutto il sentimento che sentivi in quel momento.Brava Isabella.
