fire

set yourself on fire to keep them warm

but you'll never understand the weight of what you've done

it smothers your eyes

smothers their horrified faces

you'll act like the burn is the only problem

but you are no nun

it roars while consuming your ears

it whispers that you are not the first here

but failure doesn't need eyes to appear

you really thought it would work

but now in the cold your fire barely lurks
