#nightlight
I know where I am.
Yet I am no where to find.
I know where I stand.
Yet I don't see a light.
In the mits of the dark, I expect non.
But here in the sun, light does belong.
And so I go, and leave my stand,
to see if the light, is somewhere to find.
And as I mark my steps, into the sand,
and leave my trace, for another friend,
I can see the light so bright,
somehwhere up there,
behind the night.

The room was dark
Except for my little nightlight
That depicted some kind of children's Bible story
That I no longer remember
But it glowed and reflected against my face
And when he looked into my eyes
I swear he saw an endless sea to explore
Greedy and only searching for a treasure
And it didn't take long for him to find one
A chest he stole and emptied into his hands
Shaking out every piece of worth
Until nothing remained but a shell
His hands oxidized the gold -
Shattered the gemstones -
And took away all that belonged to me
Leaving me in my bed
Staring at the nightlight,
Until my eyes got heavy and my hand reached forward
It didn't look like mine anymore
It looked like a child's: small and innocent
That wasn't me now - he had taken that, too
I flipped the switch so I didn't have to look

Slow dance with you,
I just wanna slow dance with you,
I know all the other boys are tough and smooth and I got the blues,
But I wanna slow dance with you.
Why won't you take the chance,
Just take my hand and ignore our stance
Dance with grace and dance with groove,
'Cuz I've got the moves that I'd like to prove.
Let the stars twinkle as you look at me,
Those beautiful eyes as blue as sea,
All I want is to dance through the night,
Together with my silly yet wonderful knight.
I want to tell you the words that I longed to say,
And I can't ignore and wait' til another day,
Hear me out and don't lose sight,
Will you slow dance with me all through the night?

the soft white light illuminating you
you hold onto it tightly
cherishing all you have
but you wish for a brighter light
you feel lonely

The night light flickers
Into the shadows I stare
This is not my room
My room does not have a light
A cold sweat grasps my forehead

Darkness swirls in blackened night
That might have left me without light
Yet with me are fireflies
That gift sight for my eyes
Like a waltz they sway my lovely vision enhancers
Not to mention they are amazing dancers

I am waiting
For the night light
To become my guide
From the evil
That lurks down below
and creeps in my head
While I sleep in my bed.
The night light
Brings me goodness and joy
Fade and dims
each time the clock spins.
Now, as i grew past the edge
of my twin bed
I need you to be my night light
So that I wont fall
Into the darkness at all.

Just because you are in love does not mean the sadness won’t stop creeping in, that some days you will feel yourself getting bad again.
Being in love is not about being happy all the time or acting happy for your significant other.
Love is about being vulnerable and letting your significant other sit there in the darkness and be a night light.
So come here.
Lie with me.
Be my night light because sometimes I am scared of the dark.
