In the darkness 

Where the souls have often feared

Stumbled, wished for respite, struggled

I have stood at the center stage

Burning bright, Shiny

Through frost, and storms

Letting myself melt, feeding the flame

Yet the darkness only takes

I stuggle, and burn brighter

For I know my purpose

It is not to ask, or belong

Nor be cared for,

I have no say, no will, nor feelings

Only those in the dark do

The years have battered me

The darkness is permanent

I am surrounded by it

I cast a shadow of me

Blinding my feet

There the monsters wait

Taunting, gnawing my heels

I hear their whispers

Its dying withouth death

To anticipate, but not end

I wish to sleep

For the waking has been forever

Yet I cannot choose

For I stand not by choice, but due

I wish for a gust of wind 

Sudden, without warning, abrupt,

And at the moment, I shall cease

For no one saw me being consumed
