Blow out the candles

Smother the lights

We walk a razor 

A precipice we dare not disturb. 

What does honesty mean 

To someone who can't feel 

Anything but regret? 


I hope you are better 

I hope you are proud 

For in the darkness, 

People can be brighter

And learn to live with themselves again.
