The Meaning Of My Sunset

i know what a sunset means

you always equate it with surrender
and defeat

i have a different version though
it is the flaming

the burning of the last cloud
the spreading of my blood to the sea

the blackening of my horizon
an end that deserves

a commendation
for its bravery

still glorious till the last
orange light, the last fight for light.
