A Velleity

In a light never seen

Manifested in daydreams

My story is one you may forget tomorrow

I'll cease to exist alongside failures and sorrows

To leave them behind and settle in

Have a space to survive in

Now move along

That cold room is speckled with mould

It was hard let go

To settle in

Do I re-fire? Relight a flame?

I was one to regret the night

Then wear my shame

Can I cope with the taste

Of passing by the quieter days

Say goodbye

But what have I left? And sacrificed

Now, I reminisce

Hope the final light's the brightest and screens the last abyss

Turn the lights out

Turn the light out
