When you were here,
I never needed a nightlight
your luminous eyes were
like two shimmering
fireflies leaving trails
of stardust for me to gather
from the dusty corners
of the night sky
But now that you're gone
the shadows flicker
on my wall and behind
my eyes against
the velvet darkness
of my mind
I lie awake, scared of the dark
but too scared to close my eyes
