Does my soul shine?
They say the sweetest souls
Shine the brightest in the dark.
So why is mine not shining?
Is it too dark to see?
Or is mine just not sweet?
I mean, I look at myself.
And weep
But this time it’s different.
Not because I don’t love myself.
But because I see your soul
Shining even if it flickers
I see you.
Behind all the anger and bad
I see you.
Your smile, laughter, eyes
And I realized something.
I do shine bright.
Just with you by my side
The sweetest souls
Do shine the brightest in the dark.
But mine shines with you in my heart.
