reality
the flame has come and gone
with dreams buried by tears
formed from the words of a broken
heart dreaming of a life of light
bathing in a joy so deep and true
that the stars dim in honor
of its glorious power to heal
all the wounds that humanity
has suffered at the hands of
those cherished and loved
by the very heart that
they seek to strangle all
life and warmth out of
for me the choice is clear
revive me heart and place
it behind the defenses
that kept it far away from
reality.
