Analysis of Nightlight
Souls cast away,
hearts ripped to shreds,
Saved for today,
tomorrow filled with dread.
Left behind
By a world unkind
And thrown into the dark,
But in the night
Was brought to light
The tiniest ever spark.
You'd not notice it
By naked eye
Nor with glasses to aid,
Throgh any means it seems unfit,
The tide is high and end is nigh
But in the dark I saw that spark,
For it will never fade
