A luxurious oil lamp
An antique, beautiful piece
Made up of glass, gold, and silver
Enlightens my path on moonless nights;
It accompanies me on every journey,
Guides at my darkest nights
I would choose my trusty lamp any day
Over modern, that is young but fragile.
So I polish it every day,
It might be aged but, it is bright.
Sadly, I need to accept the fact.
That one day, it will run out of light.
Nothing can ever replace it;
It can't always accompany me.
The day will come in my life,
I'll need to navigate without any guide.
Indeed, I will never forget;
How it kept the demons at bay;
There is nothing I can ever compare;
To the best thing, I ever had.
It pains me to the core.
I can never have another one.
I cherish it more than my very breath,
My oil lamp is alone in existence.
