Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Gone in a world,
Stuck behind the hinge,
Trapped in the middle of a fire,
Which lashes out to grab and singe.
Gone in a world of pain,
Groping for light,
Upset by deception,
And the evil of night.
Gone in a world of agony,
And just in one chime,
Age in the passing of time.
Gone. Gone in this world of mine.
