The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I sit here alone and shiver

The fire burning high

No sound in the brutal l'hiver

But the sparks crackling in the sky.

 

Sirens sound and cries are heard

People rushing to and fro

But as I sit alone not a single word

Indicates that I know.

 

One of the wonders of insomnia

Is that you can witness all that happens

The horrible fight that you had with Tina

Or Rico's glee that never dampens

 

But this is one night that I wish

I had slept through without a noise

Perhaps as peaceful as a fish

Or a puppy with it's toys.

 

I never wanted to see the match

Shinning brightly in your hand

But I couldn't help but watch

Time slowing to the drifting of sand.

 

A blanket placed upon my shoulders

A hand guiding me away

Left to sit on the childrens' snow boulders

Alone, with no one to hear what I had to say.

 

I blink and watch as they lead you by me

Pretending that you don't know what to do

I blink again and pray that I won't see

The horrors in my mind that will stew

 

The smile on your face

The dropping of the flame

The light dancing on you like it could taste

And you are the only one to blame.
