The Light of the World
The light of the world
it comes in many forms for many people
money, friends, family, music, art
I only have one form, a boy
I'd do anything for him
I'll listen to his stories everyday
I'll cherish and respect his wishes
I will do anything to keep that light shining
because I know I can't afford to loose him too
He's all I have left
But the more we hang out
The more I realized that he too has a storm cloud
I've asked him about it time and time again
"don't you worry" he says "I'm fine"
I never knew that one day, he'd finally had enough
that he'd be tired of living
and disappear from this world forever.
The light from my world is gone.
it's disappeared right in front of my eyes
I blame myself! I can't do this anymore
I have nothing left to lose
I'll do anything to see it again...even if it means to succumb to my thoughts
and hang the noose

This is one of my darker pieces and touches on heavy topics. It's inspired by Romeo and Juliet when they both die. You can interpret it however you wish, I tried to make it relatable in every way.
