Shining light
Why so dim
Is it because of
The shadows
Flickering

I'll watch you burn out
Through the tears
And all your feelings
Will remain a mystery

Because I won't tell them
Why you lost the energy
To shine again

Your aging filament
Incandescent
Has lost electricity

I'll watch you burn out
Your ability
To shine your lights
Luminosity

Why so dim
Is it the shadows
Flickering
Will you ever
Shine again

Or will darkness
***** your victory

Smoke fills the air
With what's left to breathe

And I'm left watching
              you fade away

             From me
