The Lighthouse Girl

It’s not you — it’s me.

It’s me who needs to take the lead for us and not make a fuss.

It’s for me to remain calm in your storm. To be the light for your ship of reason forlorn.

I’ll wait on the shore for you, to come through. Doing nothing sometime is so tough too.

I promise to be strong.

To not go picking proof of seashells from the sea of injustice- to simply trust us as is. It needs strength and that’s what I’ll be.

I know you try to think of me too and will come soon. But you have many troubles to think of, than me, all sun and moon.

It’s easy to lose it and share what lives in the heart. Sometimes it rips me apart.

Because of the storm, your love doesn’t reach me and my eyes sting. But I know when in doubt just do the next right thing.
