Everything to Everyone

Everything to everyone
But still nothing precious to you
I’m like a torch
That would flood the world
To reach that little nook
Where your shadow lies.
And hurry…
Before my fuel runs dry
And I am but a flicker
Shimmering, shimmering
I’ve been warm for so long
From al that radiates around me
I don’t want to shine anymore
Please rain upon me
Cold tempest
Pelt me with pain once more
For you will be gone soon enough
And I know not when
Your shivering embrace longs for me again
For I will always long for you
And after every rainstorm
Comes the silver lining that is the sun
And I shall glow once more
Light up the world
And love
All there is to love
But not you
Never you
Shrouded in the dark?
Makes me wonder
Would there be a light
Were there not a dark in sight?
