You put the candle out and close your eyes.

It's colder now.

Bright enough to see your breath condense

midair.

an empty pocket,

the savior takin the midnight train.

not enough to follow.

only a giant staring down at you,

quietly waiting.

It's colder now.

Then an angel flies by.

and you curse.

How could it fly so

high?

While you can only

look up.

then an angel leaves.

It's colder now.

All the world looks at you and

snears.

a darker angel,

from the corner.

tempted to

die.

then you see people's faces.

and

their tears.

It's colder now.

what are you doin?

livin for someone else.

You'll never

see.

You see the candle's

out.

It's colder now.
