Fire Within

Darkness

Darkness

All around

In my soul

No solid ground

Only darkness

~

Deep down

In the depths

Little embers glow

Waiting for the day

I remember them

~

A gust of wind

A breath

Blowing softly

~

Sparks

Small little sparks

Float into the air

Rising

Rising up

Rising above

~

Glowing

Glowing with a soft light

Lighting up a small piece

~

Hope

Hope

Hope is the wind

Wind makes a spark a flame

~

Growing

Momentum

Flames reach high

Way up

High up

Into the sky

~

You see

You hear

You come near

~

Heat

Heat runs high

You love it

You hate it

Cannot handle my light

~

Tame

Tame me

Maim me

Shame me too

Whatever you like

I'll do it for you

~

Quiet

Quiet whispers

My soul speaks to me

there's more to you

then the light you offer others

my dear

~

"Don't listen"

Slippery lips

Say to me

~

Tears

Tears

Salty streams

Leak down my cheeks

They will not stop

My heart starts to rot

They flow so long

The fire goes flat

~

The embers die out

The coals go cold

I deflate into nothing

But darkness

Darkness

The fires all gone

~

Different

"You're different"

You say to me

"What happened to your smile

Why don't you laugh with me"

~

Numb

Numb

Numb as can be

I feel

Nothing

Not even a breeze

~

Away

Run away

Cannot stay

Cannot play

Run away

Away

~

Alone

Alone again

It's just me

And...

Darkness

Darkness

Where is my flame?

~

Down

Deep down

Embers finally found

~

Breeze

Gentle breeze

Gusts of wind

Carry me

~

Growing

Growing

Growing faster

Faster than before

Bigger flames

Hot and bright

~

Never

Never again

Will I lose myself

Not for anyone

Or anything

~

I know me

I know she

~

I am the light

The lights within me
