nothing is more painful
than not being able to share with your closest confidante
the one thing that you can share with everyone else.
one's dream could be another's nightmare.

~~~~~

for all the light and illumination it has given you
for being one of the single thing that brightens up your life
one day it could be a lamp post; strong and firm,
another day, a ceiling lamp hanging from the skies.

for all the light and illumination it has given you
the ceiling lamp couldn't
it couldn't
give you the support you need.
to hold on and not fall
you couldn't
depend on it.
