My borrowed light.
You illumine me
Strength of my weakness
You charge me with power when I have less
You draw the line when I'm almost Crossing over to plunge into the dangerous waters
You hold me back, turn me around and say hey, look here.. Breathe , just breathe, this too, will soon be.
You cheer me up, fun in my dullness
As days go by I'm lost in this fondness
That spices up my tasteless stale stay
Are you never bothered by my silence
Never worried that my jollyless little self might crowd your life and turn your fire into little flickers of embers that would slowly quieten and die out.
Don't go away yet, I've never said it
You are the best
Lest you don't get, to hear me say it, for your heart to finally lay it somewhere shrouded with the ghost of my wiered world brought to light by the power with which you illumine me.
