i curled my fingers
dirty with fear
around u
u were glowing. i
tried to cover your light
from spreading into my darkness. i
tried to cover your light
from spreading into my blackened soul
but ur quirky smile, ur laughter, ur sweet smell
surrounded me pitiless
their glorious rays struck me up. i
was awaken in your brilliant flame.
My world burned
no ashes would linger
and your light warmed my shriveled self
and your light warmed my soul. i
had awaken in this world again
u won your battle.
