Sunshine to darkness How quickly a light can be dimmed A flame blown out Or a fire hosed down Within seconds minutes hours or days The spark inside someone Can be obliterated So that sadness takes over And haunts the nights and days Possessing you to do the unimaginable Just to make sure you're whole body isn't numb While tears hose down the fire within Until you drown in your own self hatred And ensure that there is no possibility Of a spark ever being kindled again
