Peer into your heart
view there the shelf
in your darkened chamber
When thirteen years ago
born into confusion and pain
they were given a fresh spirit ablaze
Resolved to condemn him to this place
on the occasion you entered
your soul crept away
Make note of the feeble flame present today
a taper no more
but unbalanced mass
Unrelenting still this flame glows dim
seeking his design
He knows of no path
Never finding
the hand to be held or led by
Continually doused with apathy
you’ve cut his wick
Frozen his heart
with yours
