Light Bulbs

by @shanath

I am done, I came crashing down Like a thousand light bulbs fitted too tight on high ceilings. I flickered minutely In the last hours And then you ignored me An anomaly that can't be fixed. I crackled inside Heat burning the glass, You wanted me to light Up your world, but I burned. But trust me I would have glowed And shone bright but sorry, I swear I'ld be among the stars. But I wasn't Instead I lay on The floor that you swept, And I was done, unfinished my                                                      Purpose.

Words are failing me

Or maybe I am failing them.

How do I explain

I am unworthy?
