the sun is gone
i feel like without it, i am no one
though it burns my skin
and hurts my eyes
i still stare into its glow
its light
i know she destroys me unlike anyone
she turns everything to dust
when i turn away, she does things
unspeakable
and my back, consumed by flames,
she claims me
so like an obedient child,
i face her once again
and again
and again
because without her,
i am no one
