I Can Stay In the Light

Don’t call me obsessed 
Whilst I’m waiting for his message
Lonely and distressed
Staring at my phone

Don't call me haunted
That he can’t return my feelings
Purely exhausted
Burning on my own

And I want you to find someone
Who’ll love you like I do
Who thinks about you always
Someone who cares for you
And I know it will break me
But sweets that’s alright 
As long as we are near
I can stay in the light 

Don’t call me deluded
When the jealousy takes over
My feelings have eluded
The chambers of my heart

And I want you to find someone
Who’ll love you like I do
Who thinks about you always
Someone who cares for you
And I know it will break me
But sweets that’s alright 
As long as we are near
I can stay in the light 

Don’t you worry darling
I can stay in the light

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
