The lights are going out of his eyes
The war in his heart and mind is destroying him
The black spirals of sadness grip over his soul
He fears losing the only love he has
The only happiness he could ever find
He's not losing his love
But the fear grips him like a vice around his heart
He tries to hold tighter to his love
He's not losing this love
But it feels like it's slipping away like water in a clenched fist
He doesn't want to lose the only love he has
Only happiness in his heart
The only place he feels safe and at home
Is he losing this love?
By trying to hold on to what he has?
By having the fear of losing this love?
He doesn't want to believe so
But a part of him that always comes at times of happiness
Is telling him he's losing it
Making him hold onto it tighter
He stares into the fire
Asking the flickering flame "why
Why can't I sleep?
Why do I worry so much?
Why does the feeling of loss come over me?
In a time of great love and happiness"
The flame then answers him
�Silence will tell the most truth.�
His mouth gaps at the small flickering flame
All the voices in his mind stop their talking
Never has anyone heard, let alone seen
A flickering flame speak
One, single flame speak into the night
Then the sadness and worry came over him again
Discarding this flickering fame as nothing
Nothing but something in the deepness of his mind
Imagined
Then the flickering flame speaks again
�Only time can tell the story
And answer all questions you wish to know�
Then along with all the worry and sadness in his mind and heart
The war is stopped
And the flame goes out�
