One Candle In The Room
.
Wind tortured, no guard
to divert bad choices. Darkness
is promised. Flicker, gutter,
go out.
go out.
.
You were the one brightness
in the room. No match or lighter
waiting in the corners to
waiting in the corners to
rescue you because darkness
conspired to steal your
light and gently consume
your fire.
.
Wind tortured, wind cursed,
the choice to be warm
and illuminate ends here.
Darkness was too strong
an adversary. Flicker,
the choice to be warm
and illuminate ends here.
Darkness was too strong
an adversary. Flicker,
gutter, go out.
