Abed, dark, and at night, In some God-ungodly hour of morning. There am I underwater, Drowning, watching stars explode. Everything is falling away. Everything is crumbling away. Before me, my own life; Out snuffs the candle, Wax on the floor. Burnt or unburnt Eternities Which do you prefer? And what a difference would it make? I am one empty candle all the same. Everything is falling away, Everything is falling away, Out snuffs the candle by whom I could not say This is my candle – — Just an empty candle, all the same! And oh what a difference it’d make! I’ll be dragged to the nothing whence I came! Everything will crumble away And the void will have its way.
