lost in the dark, eyes shut tight
i fight against myself
blind
undefined
refuse to be used
hands out, palms up
fingers outstretched
an offering, a sacrifice
a lifeline

i resist, but you insist
won't let me drift
away
from you, from them
from everyone
tug me back to shore
back to real life
your light
my lighthouse in the fog
that clouds my mind
clear the mist
bring me the clarity i desire
slow-burning fire - your own funeral pyre
illuminate me
ignite me
i will burn for you
