Afterimage
If I could stare at the sun
For forever and a day
Would you leave the light on
Would you love me the same
There will come a time
When the absence of light
Will burn out my eyes
And I will know your name
What we do not see
Is the darkness around you
That falls around me
That falls regardless of the truth
Are you watching now
The light is burning out
And we all fall down
Painted roses of blood and shame
The image comes after
Those cracks in dead light
Beauty became fractured
Like lightning that split the rain
"And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee." -FN
