Failure
Suddenly, the t.v. stopped.
I was stunned. I was shocked.
I lit a candle in the room.
All was dark. All was gloom.
I sat alone and began a thought
and realised that I'm not happy.
I missed a lot and felt regret.
Never done what I wanted to do.
I'm still alone.
The t.v.'s off.
There's no one here
to feel (or hear) me breathe.
The candle's dead
and so am I.
It's how I feel
it's who I am.
