This Little Light Of Mine

I used to leave you little notes

In random places around the house

Expressing how much you meant to me

You used to get so excited when you found them 

You would light up like the many Xmas trees 

You insist on decorating every single year

As you read the words of love

That you used to hold so dear

I thought my hand would never get tired of writing

My heart never ran out of words to describe

The love It carried for you

I never imagined the day would come

After all that we'd been through

My words become ones

You no longer wanted to hear

And my worst fear

Would come true

Suddenly it would appear

With me, wasn't where you wanted to be

With me, meant without you

Since then, my hands have tried to write

But none of the words sound quite right

My heart won't allow my hands 

To give up the fight

So they continue to write

While my heart desperately searches

All day and most every night

To find the magic words

So fucking bright

You have no choice 

But to open up your eyes

And see the light.
