The Light Stayed On Without You

The lamp you hated, flickers still

It glows for no one, yet it will

I leave it on like you might call

Though hope’s now just a faded wall

The light stayed on without your name

A tiny sun that burns the same

You’re gone, but still it fights the dark

A quiet bulb with stubborn spark

It hums like how you used to breathe

Like silence that won’t ever leave

This room forgets, but shadows learn

To mimic what I always yearn

A light, a hum, a low-lit fight

Still waiting past goodnight
