5. Bathroom Light

There's a new light in the bathroom downstairs

You go into the bathroom and then

Your eyes burn yet again

You have been in the dark for so long 

That you don't know what to do 

When the brightness swallows you up whole

So you close your eyes 

But that only makes your eyes sting more

And then you look up to where the lightbulb is

It is like staring at a microscopic white sun 

With its rays being white flames 

Which leaves the bathroom blazing white 

Oh dear 

You aren't used to the bright white lights 

Your eyes can't adjust 

So your eyes get set on fire 

It burns

Your eyes haven't been lit up in so long 

Light is supposed to make you feel alive 

But you feel like it's killing your eyes 

Light hurts more than the darkness 

You're used to the dark like it's your friend 

But the light is just another stranger 

And you're full of fear, my dear 

Then you leave the bathroom 

With white flames in your dark eyes 

It's been a few months now 

And my eyes haven't stopped burning 

From the white fire in the bathroom

The light in my eyes hasn't left since then 

Thanks to the new light in the bathroom downstairs
