Before the blaze I stand
Baptized in darkness
Blackened by memories
Broken by omission
The mask shatters
Its shards lie scattered
Lie twinkling with deception
Piercing the flesh that feels no more
Shadows behind be
Twilight ahead
The blaze before me
A heart lying dead
Hot, but warmth long gone
Consuming itself like all fire does
I stand motionless
Wondering where I should land
Time, flesh, breath
All so unimportant
As this spirit files free
And lands within the flame
Only it can survive the inferno
Relive this again and again
Only it can make since of the yearnings
That run so amok in my head
Turning away
I melt into shadows
I'm Small pieces of myself
The rest... I have given away
