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. 

 

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.

    I have too much to hide,

    it'll seep through the cracks,

    I have realized it's slowly killing me.

     

    I love you can't you tell?

    you're the one that I fell for,

    but when I did,
