You charge me up
You make me feel alive
I’m shining
Like a spotlight
Like a star
I want to hold on to this
This high
The one that makes me feel alive
I didn’t know it was you
You are the one
You replenish me
You bring me joy
You share
You open up
Make me shine
Love me
Black: the absence of light
Not a colour
I see my lack of light
On my skin…holes
They let no light in
But they leak
They ooze
Slowly spilling me
Bits of me left behind
People step in it
They slip on it
Some even fall
I’m shrinking
Nothing replacing the lost
No intake, only an outlet
That’s the time I have left
Once I’ve lost it all
My time will be up
Shriveled up
Dried up
Dispersed
Free
New Beginnings
