Flameless
Deprived of your flame
I take whatever spark
Will ease the deprivation-
The coolness in my heart
The clock screams out the time
Giving me the lease
Sadness is now primed
And it will not decease
You bare the burden of
My slow and cold decay
For you took your love
And my fires betrayed-
Me too my hard redundance
The inequality of pain
Is full of the abundance
That withered my flame.
