Flames to darkness turn, all shine gone from vibrant eyes, now blinded and raw, from crimson tears. No longer shall I see. Fear like rage, causing heart beats, like deafening gun shots; piecing my chest, and pounding my mind. No longer shall I feel. Scars upon flesh, still ache with lonesome memories; forever tattooed to haunt me. Alone and scared, no companion to ease me, my assaulted wounds do not cease. No longer shall I bleed. I slowly begin to fade; willingly I wish to be no more. No longer shall I breathe. Awakened by a flicker, a warm fire by my side. Although I cannot see, I am no longer afraid. No longer lost. My tears you dry, with gentle fingers. My fears you calm, with tender words. My body you heal, with soulful eyes. No longer shall I hurt. No longer does my heart beat without reason... I have you. -Shen
