Before

I immersed myself into the sun

And burned all my friends along the way

Such a silly thought, to be the one

Stuck forever night while he is forever day

I ignited the lantern with so much care

And so much time it took me still

All my friends vanished in thin air

To leave me forever at darkness’ will

The flames consumed my very heart

And turned me away from the others

We act as if we’re miles apart

All because I chose my lover
