I am a bulb, thou art my filament.
How would I glow without thy attachment?
O thou ignite me inside
And the glare goes outside.
But for thee, I can't be incandescent.

Why thou hast blocked my way o white,
To reach the spot where I could light
'n heal wounded 'n glum heart?
Thy this act more pains brought
To me, though thou art an alluring sight.
