I want to believe you. I want to believe that I Ignite something new in you And bring light into your life, But its hard. Its hard for me to imagine That there is any light left in me. The idea that I am not barren, But an oasis where you feel You can rest within Scares me. I have lived my whole life As nothing. I have been taught That being something like this In someone elses eyes Is devastating. Because to be this thing, This light that cannot be put out, Is so monumentally important That there is no way it was Meant for me. I can only hope that as you Stare into the wreck that Is unfortunately everything I am, You still find something Worth while.

My only hope.
