brightened

You thought that I'd collapse-
cradle myself in despairs
arms
bleed my heart
dampen my cheek
with proof of my weakness
from the sight of truth,
that my soul was so
darkened
from your shaded words
that the candle would
cease to light,
ignite in another
what it brightened in you...
foolish to doubt one
that sparked your existence
