I'd stay too close to the sun   And I shine so bright...   Maybe you knew that it burns the heart    To be turned crystalline       Among the blades of grass   I, a flower hidden, waiting   Exposing petals I long to   Give my thoughts as an offering      The sky is of a graphite hue   The walls breathing graphite air   Two days of keeping a vigil   Two days, a painfully long spell      Bound by fear...      I'd stay too close to the sun   Now I'm lost, now I'm ashen...   My temple's crumbling; it dawns on me   That I mistook misgivings for faith      Bound by fear...
