Just a Moment. [*]

It just takes a moment,
to turn from candle to flame,
to burn yourself to dust,
just to eradicate the blame.

The drops of broken wax,
the melting souls with it,
leaving behind no tracks,
letting things go bit by bit.

From flickering flames,
to dirty, burnt ashes,
amidst broken promises,
amidst guilt-laden flashes.

An odyssey that never ends,
an epic betraying all trends,
even waters from the seas,
or the dew from the trees,
the tears from the eyes,
or the deepest painful cries,
I watch them fail one by one,
beaten, conquered, defeated,
finished, dead, depleted.
