I never thought this would happen-
the lights falling on me this way,
lifting my soul up,
and you are watching with those shining eyes.
The light is coming from you,
revealing all my imperfections.
You wanted it to be this way.
I'm not sure if I do.
I want to shrink,
hide under a warm blanket of darkness,
but you are still there.
The light calls to me
in a most peculiar way.
Shattering my fears
that were building to a climax.
And even though I know you are watching,
I can't reach you.
Even if you are reaching,
I can't touch you.
Your light got so bright,
it was blinding.
I cover up with a fort I built with lies,
in the night,
I look up.
I see you in the sky.
Little spots of you in me.
Little spots of hope in the dark.
