Night light

I light the night
A ball of flames,
hiding myself in darkness
just to be ironic.

I attract you
with my warm glow
I reflect your heat
It's not my own

A secret that I keep,

Take me for granted.
When daylight comes
The mask falls,
my heat, my light dims

I turn to black
Unloved again
The fantasy gone,
fading. I am gone.

Reality is a hard pill to swallow.
