Farewell



I fold, convert to any religion you want. Have more faith in any deity than myself. Light the darkest place you wouldn't dare venture to. Think this bright, think the light is enough to keep you from bumping into the same wall... A part of me breaks every time you fall Love is compromise, so… When you were cold, I lit the wood until none was left. You were still shivering, So - I lit myself on fire to keep you warm I might not have the same smile from these burns. The light in my eyes was donated to the candles, cause the bulbs weren't bright enough. Remember, I will shed my skin if it will make life easier for you I will rise from the ashes. As of now, I'm just burnt out.
