The Torch

When I realized it was over,
Really over, I think.
I put the torch I had for you
Away. But, not too far out of
Reach. It was in the closet next
To the umbrella I never use.
Right by the door where I could
Find it when I was blinded
By your smile, by your words.
Where I could reach when
My brain failed me again.
