Trying to get
the light to stabilize,
smooth out
its insane flicker.
Ease its only
animosity,
take its pain away.
Suffer,
bleeding,
thinking.
I’m a monkey
in a cage.
Shoot me into space.
I’m only
a few million miles away
and closing in.
Comfort this,
an only feeling.
Child left
and begging for
unwanted,
stupid,
savage beatings,
thus completing
the circle of idiots.
Quiet,
little candle,
I will hold you,
keep you near me.
I’m your savior,
and your parent.
I’m your victim,
and your jealous murderer.
‘Round and ‘round
in this unending spiral.
Your light is magnificent,
showing me such wonders,
but the end it inevitable;
that singularity.
Either you will burn me,
or I will smother you.
Just a little
give and take.
Maybe I’m hypnotized by
your chaotic rhythms.
Now here’s something inside
I want to let out.
Get out.
Hold on,
until the day again.
One more strike against me.
My ending is
cut by strobes.
