The only ray of light
in her world of darkness
took the form of a boy

She ran towards him,
overjoyed for there’s hope for her
She embraced the luminous boy tightly
finding solace in the warmth radiated
thinking that her world will soon be illuminated

Yet eventually,
her skin began scalding
she was drenched in perspiration,
suffering from the unbearable heat
yet she chose to focus on the warmth instead

Soon, she was accustomed to the burning heat
Failing to realise that he is offering her nothing but pain
yet even then,
she holds on..
unable to let go
for she has spend a big part of her life just being with him
A hundred times over,
she’d choose the familiar pain
rather than the cold emptiness of her life in his absence

So how long must you realise dear girl
that you have to be your own sunshine
brightening your life
for even the ray of light
which is once your ray of hope
will eventually burn you
