I AM AN OIL LAMP
I am an oil lamp~
I shine bright~
But to the corners of dark~
I can not grab a hold~
Yet I carry on~
Continuing to unfold.
I am an oil lamp~
I flicker in the wind~
While night tries to come~
I try to stay stable~
To not let it in.
I am an oil lamp~
My wick grows short~
I risk myself in the shadows~
I fight to keep my burn~
As if it matters.
I am an oil lamp~
My oil depletes~
I exhaust my resources~
As my fuel diminishes~
I become weak.
I am an oil lamp~
I light the way~
Keep me fueled~
So I will stay.
