Soliloquy

What is like being with you
when you are not around anymore? 
- you may never ask.
And I might leave this unanswered, too.
You are still outshining me, you know,
so I have to go dark,
before becoming completely transparent;
coming clean, before all get unclean. 
For starting the fire and finish it, 
are two different kinds of things.
