Two Days

I'd stay too close to the sun

And I shine so bright...

Maybe you knew that it burns the heart

To be turned crystalline



Among the blades of grass

I, a flower hidden, waiting

Exposing petals I long to

Give my thoughts as an offering



The sky is of a graphite hue

The walls breathing graphite air

Two days of keeping a vigil

Two days, a painfully long spell



Bound by fear...



I'd stay too close to the sun

Now I'm lost, now I'm ashen...

My temple's crumbling; it dawns on me

That I mistook misgivings for faith



Bound by fear...
