My light

Oh Light of mine
Don't stop shining, don't stop
Being, don't stop
Trying to make the world beautiful
There's not much time left
And what time is left is dreary
When I wake up there's monotony
In my schedule when I try to
Fix things they fall apart
And I'm left trying things over
That won't seem to go
I try believing in my tiredness
Thinking I can overcome an abyss
alone and scared
But what I really need is help
But not help that would bother you
Or take away from your radiance
(Though yours seems perpetual)
Rather just a ray in my direction
Sometimes I think I'm too deep
Too far from you, enclosed
Too trapped, in my worries
Too helpless to be helped
Yet a single spark
(and only you seem to do it)
Though ephemeral, though swift
My iconic memory is triggered
The place is made visible
Long enough to consider
A plan to extricate myself
From my web of distress
And a hope is there
That was wasn't there before
and I can see myself in your light
If I could just keep you with me
But that's not your role
For I'm sure others need you too
But for a moment I consider
What that could be like
Being, in happiness, with you
My light
