Extinguished
What was that light
The same was a small flicker
Unbearably warm light playful and anew
Small kindled and unseen
In it was everything that she once knew
What was that light
She kept close to her heart
Igniting a spark within
Laughing dancing smiling
Lighting the path to where she had been
What was that light
Her scorching eyes
Lush green dyed black to rough terrain
The raw smell of burnt rubber
Life in its path chiseled ashes of rain
What was that light
A bright flash an explosion
Toxic untenable heat steaming
The world collapsing around her
Lashing viciously hissing screaming
What was that light
In a dimly lit candle
As sunlight fades into dusk
The smell of dripping wax
Blocks out any odor or musk
Where was that light now
There is no trace
And like the flicker of a match she goes out
