A FINISHED MANS IMPRESSION OF THE FUTURE

Not many miles in his life
Ran out of joy when all the candles burned out
With nothing much to think about
Separation comes and goes and comes again

Everyday he adds more fuel
To the fire that he burns + watches
Puts all the darkness behind
A whitish wall of faith
He says he found God or a god
Who gave up on him
Who gave another separation
Falling back into black

Some smiles come into his life
He breaks his mind again to see
What we all wanted him to be
Then, came a stage of life
He just couldn't conquer

So the flame becomes important
The fire burns away his hope
Leaving only one hope if he crawls over
It's over
It's gone

He knows there's peace behind the flame
He sees it through the hole he made
But he likes the flame
Lives for the flame
Makes himself a part of the flame
So he won't end up dark again
