My darkness lifted when I saw your light
Shining for all to see
Yet I circled your lone, exclusive lantern
Meant for anyone but me
.
Like a moth to a flame I circled your light
As my very reason to be
But raisons d'être are overrated
Existentially
.
Now I've become loathe to light
On your luminosity
You've turned it off, to dark from bright
To say no one's home for me
.
I'll return one night to your rekindled light
To see who was burned for thee
But I have lived another day
And reached validity

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
