Shine Through

I am the dark

and you are the light

I was a cold room

And you came through, a window

You need only shine on me once for me to see

there was more to reach for.

And suddenly, I opened up wide-

craving warmth, an escape from the cold.

When the window of you closed

I shuddered at my familiar surroundings

having known for just a moment, light.

I vowed to make it back,

and here I am again

with you.
