Once part of an ardent fire,
Now I glow in darkness.
Still warm.
Still bright.
Send flames coursing through me;
Give me your breath.

I poured myself out.
For long stretching days,
I poured myself out.

What I could give, I bled.
Everything I had, I gave.
When I finally stopped pouring,
I was fuller than before.

I’m glad I’m not empty,
But, I want to pour for someone again.
