[23] your light has become pale

36 13 3
                                    

my heart is a boat, lost in the stormy waves,
swaying and struggling for life
you are the lighthouse that guides me home
your warm light is my saviour in the cold night
and you are my safe harbour

but your walls are cracked
and your light has dimmed over time
the cold has eaten into my boat
and i am slowly losing sight of you

you, my safe harbour, my home,
are disappearing into the darkness

or was it my heart that closed itself off
and allowed the cold in
to give solitude a helping hand?

was it my heart that learnt to swim in the icy waves rather than seek your spongy light?
