Senses

Dim

Never have these neon lanterns been so dull

Their lights are fading, and so are mine

Tell me why my innocence was snatched away from my hands

These small hands that were never big enough to hold the Earth

But they try to grab whatever they can from the world

An impossible feat, a wish made in vain

I embrace a world that, in turn, has thrown me away

This light of mine flickers for a final moment...

And the last lantern is now dark.
