Like Fire Tonight

Like fire tonight, I burn and die

I light up the world, but my end is nigh.

Just another Earthling, hell-ward bound,

I searched for light, but darkness found.

Never perfect was this life of mine

But imperfection was most tolerable

When your single smile made my day

And your deep eyes showed me the way

And now you are gone, and gone with you,

The single spark that kindled hope in me.

Not you, not your music, fill my ears;

They flit by; agonizing, piercing spears.

I searched you in spirits; I searched you in smoke,

In holy sprites, in pellets of dope.

Ev’n in furthest corners, you couldn’t be found,

Anguish and grief, do yet abound.

Where did you go and left me to cry,

Can’t move on, however hard I try.

Of all my desires only one does remain:

To sleep and to never wake up again…
