Enlighten Me

What light fades within your presence?

For light exists, if only through thee

Your beauty shines from your essence

For it exists both internal and externally



My mere self, wanes when near to thee

I am but a shell, just skin, au visage

Allow me then your light so I can see

I am then filled by you, I’m assuaged
