The Terrible Light

Heart break

I walked in the rain; I got mud on my shoes--

I was soaked to the bone thinking of you.

I was trying to lose the light that I found,

But like a puppy I fed, it followed me around.

And it loved me,

I loved me,

and then I loved you...

Now I'm standing in a puddle with mud on my shoes

Looking up at a window that used to be yours;

Holding on to a key yo a bolted door.

Everything I had I've lost again,

Except this terrible light I once called my friend.

Does it mock me?

Does it hate me?

There's only one thing I know:

I wish I'd never seen what it had to show.

Then I wouldn't treasure a key

and a darkened window.
