Endless nights
Wide and boundless
Seep into my dark colorless recesses
Haunting me
In the wake of the brilliant morning
Abandoned by reason
Stripped of will
Paralyzed, I move through time
Pierced and broken
Like a bleeding memory
Held fast
To flames leaping long, wild and mindless
A prisoner to the blissful burn
Of the fire
Blue and raging
