this is my heart

fairy lights

these fairy lights are a mockery.
they shine brightly in the dark and i drown.
they stand out beautifully against the blackness of my room,
and i only add to it.
they think they're stars in the pitch-black sky,
vegas lights.

they are not.
they are nothing.
they are nothing but lights,
powered by something greater than them.
they are nothing.
