This truth

An ode to my liberation

To cast out the longing that grew so near

Watch it burn

An inspiration

This proclamation

That hope remains

Flow of ambition

Course through my veins

Awaiting a spark

(You are the spark)

Alight, alight

I’ve found the way

Watch me burn

I’ll keep you warm

Simple words are but an understatement

A lifetime of labor to paint your visage

The mirror of beauty itself

My passion

Empty and lifeless

A breath of life

Left in your kiss

To go alone

The last steps I’d take

To go without you

A burden I cannot bear

I cannot bear

I shall not bear

I

Will

Not

Bear
