Light
Still is the night
Quiet genteel light
Shin down on me
Don’t diminish and abandon me.
I don’t wish to be alone
Darkness please leave me be
I do not want nor do I need you.
But light, sweet white light
Warm my cold with your glow
Without you I feel alone.
Oh dear light
I can see you growing dim
Please stay dear light
I need you with me
But no you can’t
You must leave like everyone else
And I alone
In still and quiet
Darkness and dread.
