To keep the fire within (Poem)

Oh my! where have i been

To keep the fire within

Endured the thick and the thin

To keep the fire within

I sent the gods away

And left the angels astray

I wore the cloak of fear

And left no one near

I threw my heart in the bin

To keep the fire within

To sew my streching wounds

I bought the needles of sin

The thread was never enough

To keep the fire within

For solace i crossed dimensions

Silence, distance and grin

The smoke was slipping through eyes

To keep the fire within

I cried, wept and screamed

Hoping i was redeemed

As the sweat and blood would flow

To keep the fire within

The pain that was never expressed

The sorrow that never was stressed

So i wrote these poems to kin

To keep the fire within
