O Desire,   you keep me awake.   Your excuses stole my sleep,   left my bones tired.   Was my loss written   in some hidden script?   Your roads were too steep I fell, my breath expired.   You called me to climb,   but the stones slipped.   Even the sky grew heavy,   weary of your fire.   O Desire,   when does the fight end?   Your song once burned bright—   now it whispers  ash, not flame

Desire’s Shadow
O Desire,   you keep me awake.   Your excuses stole my sleep,   left my bones tired.   Was my loss written   in some hidden script?   Your roads were too steep I fell, my breath expired.   You called me to climb,   but the stones slipped.   Even the sky grew heavy,   weary of your fire.   O Desire,   when does the fight end?   Your song once burned bright—   now it whispers  ash, not flame
