An echo of light a flicker of hope

In its presence I am cradled by the light

The safe harbor in the darkness of the night

It is in the cusp of this light I begin to feel a sadness creep in

As I must leave the light of the streetlights

Trading it instead for the warmth of home

My gaze goes up

For I am forced to say goodbye once more

I know I will meet these lights once more

The sadness stays on

It will always be diffrent

For each night brings forth a diffrent version of me

And each night brings the lights closer to the end

In the cusp of inbetween I am left staring

Forced to mourn a love only I can feel

For my heart will always love street lights

They are the guardians of all my nightly affairs

From the late nights parties

The late nights studying in the library

They are a constant presence

That keeps me safe from the darkness

With there never ending support

They are my guardians of the night
