Dry.

Tunnel vision

Bottle wide

Emptied dry 

Unsteady stride

Counting stars

Combusting light 

Jaded pessimism 

Won’t fade tonight

Had it all

Nothing to lose

Wander in circles 

Spark the fuse

Yearning for the song

To lead you home

Sound was sweeter

Than anything you had known

Paralyzed in your thoughts 

Leaving you terrified 

Knowing your solitary

Will not subside

Peering in, the window is dark

Candles on the sill 

Leave nothing to burn 

Once so bright, lost their will

Feeling forgotten

Melted away 

All while waiting 

For you to be saved
