[poem] let me be your flamethrower

let me be your flamethrower
when darkness moves in to stay
and clarity is unclear

let me be your burning angel in the night
when your heart is dark with loss

i’ll be your starburst at dawn
welcoming the new day so you can shake off past grievances

i’ll be a candle in your sadness
and a beacon in your darkest dreams

take me down into the abyss and
hold me up high so you
can burn away illusion
and send despair packing

let me be your flamethrower
