A Flicker in the Dark
Location
Answer me when I question you.
I'm tired of listening to empty wind.
Will you never tell me what's true?
I look for the answer within me
And I find none
Two empty blue eyes are all I see.
Have I no heart nor soul
No breath, no music?
Where on earth did it go?
When did I lose it?
The spark in my eyes lights again,
A flicker in the dark.
Watch, just a moment, then nothing.
The fire is there, buried deep,
Blazing on a few black coals,
Waking from a long, restless sleep.
Love, no, it was only a game.
I used you like you used me.
Both of us searching for a flame.
Finding one in each other's eyes,
Too wild, too hot to contain.
