I never wanted to wither
I never wanted to fade
I never wanted to lose my light
I never wanted to create a mess
So I decided not to bloom
I decided not to feel
I stayed in the dark
which complemented my light perfectly
I never meant to fly
I liked the solid concrete I was standing on
in the darkness, with no way to distinguish myself from my shadow
- I felt satisfied.
But you came around;
your light a lot brighter than me
you dazzled me by your brilliance
and showed me there was another way to be
Your words pulled me out-
one step at a time
your light kept me blinded enough
to keep me from seeing where i was going
Slowly and slowly
you took down all the walls
i had put up
to let my spark in
Together we burnt
bright enough to light our own little galaxy
somewhere along the line
i started losing myself in you
Like a star twinkling in noon
like a drop goes unnoticed when it falls in sea.
We talked about our future
you told me about the place you came from
And we planned how the walls of our home will be decorated w my poems, how you'll sing me to sleep
and make the wind jealous
But like every sweet dream that ends too soon
the bitter reality came crashing in
and the storm took away my light
you somehow managed to keep yours still aflame
Right after the storm had passed
you promised
your light will be enough
to keep us from drifting apart
But in the middle of our laughter
your mind would go to the place
you had come from
and it was then when i started losing you
The more i tried to hold on to you
the more burnt i got
i was so scared to lose you
that i realised one day i will
I could never be a part of your world
but i no longer wanted to alienate you from it
so i withdrew back to the darkness
i had always known
but this time with no spark to help me coexist w it
i felt myself getting swallowed
with my last breath
i wished you nothing but happiness
*I never meant to witter
I never meant to fade
I never wanted to lose my light
but i admit i made a mess*
**your love ****** me
more than You'll know
but no sweeter damnation
I could have ever got**
