Poem

guided by light

To my old self,
please always leave the light on in case i need to find you. i know i've wandered far away, but i need the girl that i knew.

i think i've lost myself, so guide me with your light. the spark inside of me has died, so i'm walking through the night.

all i see is darkness, i can't find my way back. how do i get back to you when all i see is black?
i have no light left in me; it burned out long ago.

please always leave your light for me, so i can find my way back home.
i know one day i'll find you, though it might take some time. but when i make it to your light,

can you relight mine?
