.

And I saw the light. As you sit across from me with it in your hand, outreached, my eyes begging

Me to believe

to acknowledge the truth. As I look into yours; there is a faint, a slow deterioration taking place of everything that I thought was. Hush Hush Hush. How do you speak and get through to the creatures swinging. Back and forth. Back and forth within my head, feeling threatened, agitated. It is only in the slightly awakened light it becomes obvious. That although deep, how weakened they truly are. Reluctantly disintegrating into the flames that is your love.

That is my love.

And I saw the light. And I ask only that you continue to shine it upon me, my skin is frail. Can you spare it, if only for a moment. Remind me maybe of the truth you hold, and how I want it so. In your flames, burning away is agonizing, and it’s your arms that give me comfort while dying.

And so I see the light. Never wanting. Never desiring it as I do now. The lies of the never deserving to be unraveled and chipped. I allow the poison to be scorched for as long as it may take.

For as long as it needs.

Till it no longer resides in my heart
