She asked me,
Turn it off,
Send me onwards.
But I could not,
Could not extinguish,
So precious, so dear,
Could not send her onwards,
In spite of the tears.

She begged me,
Turn it off,
My veins are molten iron,
My heart already still.
Yet I could not,
Could not answer her plea.
Her tears cut me deeply,
Her suffering left me drear.

She wept as she asked me,
Turn it off
And the wall collapsed.
Bitterly I wept,
I had to send her onwards,
I had to begin it now.
But knew if I did,
My sins I�d be left to pay.

I turned it off,
She left,
I left.
I wept,
I slept.
