Go away little light



I sabotaged your light, I pushed it far away.
Though it flickers bright, I don't want it to stay.
One day you'll understand that I'm only saving you
Deep within this darkness there is no room for two
I have grown accustomed to swaying away your light
Even though persistent, this darkness always fights
Go away little light, for here you don't belong
Even though a fighter, this darkness is to strong
Fly away little light, I truly wish you well
You don't belong with me where all this darkness dwells
Go away, little light, run far away
Even though I love you, I don't want you to stay

I'm def don't consider myself a poet I started writing after my sister passed away...Just to try and express myself with out having to throw my misery or sadness on anyone else.... At times my poems are dark but that's just how I felt at the moment more…
