[bodytext] => I walk along the path at night Forty-six minutes and twenty-two seconds Or I’ll run behind, I swear this to you – I run behind. Beyond a tree with etched lovers History being eroded by the rain My sweet rain The path a lush green A solitude you can’t get alone. The end of the path The Edge of my World. The wind blowing I didn’t forget my Bobby pins. The edge of nothingness Blowing out my brain. A little chill, a silent star, I go back when my clock’s digits Add up to twelve. A memory of my candle burning At home in my window sill. I never blew the flame out, It burns, burns, burns.. I swear to you – It’s blazing right now. To run home and blow it out? Or stay until my clock Adds up to twelve? Sacrifice or sacrifice – Either way, I cannot win. So I stay at the edge of nothingness, Only then to return To a pile of ashes, Firefighters. Asking my name.
