The Boy Who Destroyed the World
By: A Fire Inside
Once there was a boy who had vibrant glow,
but as it goes,
someone took it from him.
One day through the rain
I heard him meekly moan,
he said "Will you wrap your arms around me as I'm falling?"
Remember when
we were all
so beautiful?
But since then we've lost our glow.
They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know
that they were filled
with regret
as their own dissipated.
He said, "I now feel more desperately alone,
even though they wrapped their arms around me as I'd
fallen."
They
said it hurt their eyes,
but he would never know that they were claiming regret as their own...
as their own dissipated.
