My Fire

As I sit here in the darkness, I think, why me? Why did it have to be me in the dark, all alone, no one to go to? I remember when it was bright. When I wasn't all alone. No darkness, no no one. I would go outside and play in the sun. I would laugh and smile, but now I don't. I'm all alone. No outside, no sun. Just a dark lonely hole that I'm stuck in. I keep track of the days, weeks, months, years, that I spend in here. Time passes by, but no one comes. I wait and wait, but no one shows up. I thought all hope was lost, until he came. He came to my rescue. He busted me out of my hole. He let me feel happiness again. No longer in the dark, but in the light. I'm outside, I'm in the sun. No more darkness, no more loneliness. Once again I have somebody. This time, their not gonna leave me. This time, their here to stay. I sat in front of the wood, waiting for it to light up and give me warmth, but never did. But when he came, the wood blazed up, warming me head to toe. He was my light. My happiness. My fire. His name, his name was Leo Valdez.
