Consumed

There's a light
in the road
and it's starting
to dim
Would it
have stayed
longer
if I hadn't licked
all the salt
off the rim
The light's
been blinding
Have the
shadows
been binding me
behind my back
You tell me
all you see
is fading
into black
You're losing
the salt
in the air
But I 
still see
the gold strands
waving in
your hair
Why can't you
feel it
the way 
that I do
You leave me
alone
each time
you let
the darkness
consume you
