sniff out the light in the dark

snuffed out one candle too many

left here to simmer

back burner bound

a tightly woven band

around my head

the light pulls me down

from high-flying

split-level

out of control

bipolar blistered

too much light blisters my soul

too much darkness means nowhere

happy to roll

so sniff out the light in the dark.
