poems i never meant to write

45 - light

you were the light in my world plagued by darkness

now your light is fading
and the hope you once gave me will soon be nonexistent

i feel more empty than i did before we met

so a part of me wishes that you'd never inspired me in the way that you have

but i hate myself for feeling this way
because you are the reason i was able to smile for so long

and maybe if i remember the way you illuminated my world
i can return a little bit of that light back to you

you only need one match for two candles
