Falling down

Though you come at a price,

You appear in the darkness

Spreading your own light,

I can't sleep without your soft weeps,

Soft-spoken,

you tell of a story nobody can recite

unless they listen through the night.

They point their fingers,

Quick to blame,

Say you're the reason

They can't light their flame.

Only when one truly pays with their time,

will they come to realize,

the beauty of your life.

My body filled with fear,

suddenly becomes numb

Because of your love.

Like a melancholy hug,

the rain leads the way,

like a light lit aflame,

on a dark pathway.

Will you continue to lead us the right way?

In my dreams, you will speak,

speak of the life you received,

You spread your wisdom,

So I can thrive.

When It's all over,

I stare at what you left behind,

pooling all around,

I wish to replay last night.
