Lightbulb

The world is
attracted to you
like moths thinking
a lightbulb is the sun

Am I the only
one who sees
that all that bravo
is only a show

You put on to hide
the cavity inside
where your heart
should have been

Perhaps they know
but cannot bear
to know a face
oh so fair
and find that it's soul
Is ugly and bare

But who am I
to judge you
while I am just
the same

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
I am
Nobody

I am the darkness
moths fly away from me
to find out that
they should've foreseen
the great betrayal
they don't know
that it isn't the sun

But only glass and wire
that cannot turn on
without a source
to give it light

Detest me you might
but only because
you know I am right
that
while darkness isn't bright
It does not mean
It cannot fight
