I stood outside the fire,
Watching the flame.
Pushing away the darkness,
Keeping it tame,
I watch as the fire does die,
The darkness growing.
Did the darkness kill the light,
Know way of knowing.
I watched as the embers go out,
Despite all I tried.
The darkness enfolds me,
My last hope has died.
In time I become a creature of night,
No longer needing instead fearing the light.

Of all I've lost; I miss my innocence  the most.

Ada'doLisdo'ti,

I really liked the feel of this sort of blue and morose without slipping into despair. Did you mean to spell 'Know' that way in line eight  because it makes a great play on words but it doesn't sound planned.

Anyway I liked this and hope to read more of your work.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
