forest town

in the darkening of our lives

you and i sparked;

found light in each other’s impending destruction.

in the final rays of blinding

you and i sparked;

found darkness in each other’s fading kindle.

again and again, this world

did not want us, did not

take us for what we were;

again and again,

we faced the fire for what we did.

we are the magic

were the magic

that gave this town life.

and we were left as nothing but footnotes

in the pages of dusty, forgotten books.
