burning light - a world without you
I lit a candle...
the match that I used is still in my hand...
I watch the burning flame
it is like me...
burning up inside
while shining out to others
I give my life for them
for the ones I love
the ones I care for
and the ones that I so desperately need
every inch of my body
every solemn aspect of my soul
I am using it up for you my friends....
the light that you see
is a part of the darkness that grows deep within me
the energy and love you feel
is due to the degrading life-power of my soul, body and mind...
every time I see you with a troubled mind...
I light another match...
I throw another log on the fire...
it makes me burn up even faster
just to save you
no matter the costs...
today I lit a match...
and watched it close again...
I let it come close..
close to my hand...
close to it's base...
and put it out with my finger...
slowly... so I can feel the pain of losing you
the pain of losing yet another part of myself..
and now I smell the scent of burnt skin
it is numb... I don't feel any pain anymore
it is yellow...
and every second I see it.. I think of you...
of the pain I had when I felt like losing you
as I am looking into the Eyes of Darkness
I am Seeing the light of Emptiness...
promise me one thing,
that I never have to experience the loss
the torment of living....
in a world without you...

WOW, excellent
Putting fires close to one another, when syncronized, they can burn twice as intence, with half of the fuel...
now just where is that other fire when one needs one?
Thnx for sharing and i hope I can add to the fire -
you leave me speechless.
