Outline a star across my head
then send me up: straight to my bed.
Tell me good things are soon to come
then leave me to be alone and numb.

Blow me a kiss as weeks pass by
and leave me here simply to die.
Thoughts accumulate inside my mind;
I shoot them down once neatly lined.

Let me stare off into a space
inside my head I can't erase.
A spot so empty in my skull
that once there I can't hear your call.

Reserve a place within your heart
for me to get a running start.
Don't leave me here limping behind
as I try to rub away the blind.

Let me see inside your soul
and set fire to this black coal,
so it may burn bright enough to see
for even someone as blind as me.

Erase the lines across my hand
for they do not tell of time's sand,
only of thoughts I often deny
for I wish not to think a lie.

Goodbye my friend who left me here.
I hope you don't shed a tear,
for I am nothing but a soul
whose flame is running out of coal.
