I stare into the light
As it grows bigger
As if to welcome me
Like I found somewhere I belong
A light, so bright

It stopped short
It changed its mind
Decided it was not my time

No, I will have to keep suffering
Pain, loneliness, hatred
The light left me

Why won't it consume me
Am I not worthy
Of course not
I knew that
I would only dim
The bright, white light
