How Much

Light held him up,

teared him down,

pulled him around.

.

Betrayed,

once,

twice,

how many more times?

.

It took from him,

more and more,

every day.

.

One by one,

pieces of him were consumed.

One by one,

pieces of him were lost.

.

Consumed, lost, gone forever.

.

How much more could he lose?

How much more could he give?

.

In his place stood nothing but light.

Scorching, blazing, all consuming.

.

How much more could he burn?
