the corner
of my room
has a light
it's pretty
it's bright
but in time
it will age,
but in time
it will die,
i can change it out,
have a new one shine
but throw away
the old light,
have it die?
tossed into
the garbage
it breaks and
shatters
the old light
that i knew
that i loved
is dead
must i forget
that love
with a
replacement?
can we replace
feelings,
emotions,
for something
someone?
