Letting pathos glow inside carrion’s beat,

I woul......

But time and ailments stepped in to betray.

Sitting here alone,
staring at a cold fireplace
Half of me not home,
left an empty pillow space

Teardrop candle wax

Kindled by mirror sobs,

I saw a tiny flicker 
As a small piece of your love for me

and I fan the flames with a chilled smile

...Keeping my head in the fire.
Plotting my next move.
Temperature gets hotter.
Can't find my groove.

Life's just a joke.
Demons on the rise.
