Light

Light came through the smallest crack she left unmaintained,

So that one day someone could break through and see that all the complaining, 

was just a netting. 

She wore her cards close to her chest because letting him see meant she would have to fold,

and that was something she can't let God hold. 

When he showed her that her lovely heart was something worth Gold, 

light consumed her and all her sunken sorrows burned away.

They chose to say yes to heartbreak, love, and orange trees,

but with time, the cards were getting scattered and the light was dimmed causing her trees,

to die away.

Light came crashing through and sat with them in the dark,

he made promises to not stop showing her, her golden heart,

but life came breaking backwards and the light went out, the way it does.

There was no proper reseeding, or covering to be done,

just broken promises and dead oranges left as evidence with no sun.

It came and went as lightening does, but what remains is the same,

a love worth remembering and heartfelt promises kept close to her brain.

There may never be an us, but there was a trust,

a trust to know that the light they both saw was one worth letting in.
