I have to sit
and see
the beauty
standing is not
satisfactorya conscience choice
must be made
to see what
is sincerely saidas i let
the firery beauty
enchant my eyes
and burn mefinding my finger
over the lucid light
until i cannot stand
a moment more of fighti see past
the piercing pain
into a night of darkness
dawning bright against
the flameit was just a candle
that i chose to lit
folding a chair in front
and finding a place
to sitbut it poured
into a pain
i refused to give voice to
grieving for a past
and a future
i never knewone by one
i blow them out
