this darkness
is slowly consuming me
eating away at my life
I do not fear
for there is not much light
for it to take away.
however,
I would enjoy to have
a brightness in my life.
it does not have to be
quite like the moon,
or a star,
I would be more than satisfied
with something equivalent
to a dimly lit candle
or even
a dying lightbulb.
just something,
even if it is small,
that can help me see.
although,
it is likely
the light will never find me.
I guess I will
just have to teach myself
to learn to see
in the dark.
