I recall when the fire burned

infested memories that last for years

Before your own pitiful existence

has to be reconsidered once again

I'm still missing the essential

Wondering about the futility of your words

An eager desire the will to understand

the essence of that fascinating bitter end

Striving to keep the pieces together

Slowly climbing the stairways of recovery

A glimpse of warmth as an exit

to venture where the answers lie

Living another day I can't relate to

Somehow I will find a passage through
