A light in a dark room

By C-L-S

There is a light, 

one small glimmer. 

 

It flickers like the flames, 

fighting the darkness.

but just enough power to leave a little spark in this dark room.

 

Leaving warmth over the shadows,

making the room just a little less scary,

a little less sad,

giving us comfort,

because sometimes even the shadows need a little comfort.

    I need to be felt,

    I crave something I hate.

     

    I've never liked hugs or the feeling of someone touching me,
