A light in a dark room

There is a light, 

one small glimmer. 

 

It flickers like the flames, 

fighting the darkness. 

 

Dim, 

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.

  • Am I his?

    He says he's mine,

    but am I really his?

     

    Should I push these feelings aside and let him in?

    Is their some kind of line that decides if I'm his?

     

    Is this right?

    do we really fit?

  • Napkins

    Someone new is trying to hold me,

    it's so foreign,

    they are trying to take your place it seems,

    but I think that's exactly what I need,

    to look beyond this misery.

     

    I feel confused,

    am I happy?

  • Pieces of me

    I fall in love with people,

    leaving pieces of me behind.

     

    Belonging to a heart that's rightfully mine,

    but it doesn't matter because they can give them back and they still won't fit back inside.
