the only reason

you're with

me

is because you left

her

behind,

no reason

no explanation

just an ending

she

wasn't

ready for.

you said

"tell me you love me,

only for the night."

love is a strong word

but i'm sure

you used it on

her,

too.

what good is one night

of supposed love

if i know it will all

disappear

when the

sun

comes

up?

i don't care about the

designer sheets

covering my

mattress.

i just want it to be

draped

in

you

and yet

in spite of everything

i buy new bedding

every

time

you

leave

i loved you

so deeply

purely

and wholly

that you became more of myself

than i could ever provide.

you left with her

with me

and now

there's

nothing

left.

come with me

and i will prove to you that

there is

so

much

more to yourself

than what you see.

I've followed you through the dark,

for you are the

light

at the end of my tunnel

and without you

i would

never

have escaped its

shade.

I guess often those who

light

up the darkness

are so

blinded

by their own glow

that they can never really see how

beautiful

it is

and as you are the

brightest

light

of all,

you are the most blind to your own worth.

As you led me through my

tunnel,

i will guide you through your own

and i promise

no matter how dark it gets

no matter how dim i may seem

that i will be your

light

till the end.
