Drawn To Darkness

The flames lick the tips,
Melting away the wax of my skin.
Dripping to extinguish
The light from within.
Now it's too dark to distinguish
The creatures in the night.
Terrified of the darkness,
Disinterested in the light.
Lured by my demons,
Tantalised with desire.
Clouded by the smoke,
Of my internal fire.
