I wonder how bright my tears shimmered Refracting your flickering light, I wonder what thoughts had filtered, Through your changing mind that night. Your smile builds me upright, Until it quivers and I fall To pieces under nightlights Until morning sooths and calms. But nothing feels quite as right As crying in your arms, While laughing at our fears Pretending nothings wrong, Pretending that you would stay forever, Until the day you’ve gone. Every night without your light Just seems to dark and long.

I need my nightlight
I wonder how bright my tears shimmered Refracting your flickering light, I wonder what thoughts had filtered, Through your changing mind that night. Your smile builds me upright, Until it quivers and I fall To pieces under nightlights Until morning sooths and calms. But nothing feels quite as right As crying in your arms, While laughing at our fears Pretending nothings wrong, Pretending that you would stay forever, Until the day you’ve gone. Every night without your light Just seems to dark and long.
