To those lights above her eyes
Who help her sleep better
Even while shining too bright

----

She stared at them for some time long

Wondering why

They made her so warm

Light wasn't strong enough to cover the room

But they made her life much better

She stared at them again

This time, dim

Flickering on and off trying to stay connected

She hadnt once thought about changing the lights

Even after they were burned to their demise
