although i am afraid

you guide me



'-and i can not

see

at all

anymore'



you feed the fire

that burns inside of me



i can not extinguish

it with any words.

no exclamation for help;

no open-ended plea.





ive tried to suppress the flames

until i realized

it was killing

me.



and my mind is

hungry all the time!



i have heard

the silence

that comes with

your absence

and it is deafening!



you have seen

the substance

of my creation.



the origin of this

madness.



you know the meaning of me.



help me find the light, too.
