Nightfall

I’m alone without windows or doors,
And can’t seem to find the sun.
So I open up and let you in,
Because your eyes bring in light.

I try to contain you,
But I can’t hold onto your rays;
Because you warm me at convenient times,
And can’t come out at night.

So I carry your light within me,
For a small amount of time;
But the night surrounds the room
Without windows, doors, or your light.

Enveloped in that room,
Where I’m alone and lose my breath;
I will try to ignore the darkness.
I will try to break down the walls.

But when you’re raised in a room
Of darkness and temporary light
Your mind would turn to darkness too
And lose itself in the dusk.

So, I try to be your constant light
In your room without windows or doors;
To save you from the world’s nightfall
And to love you for having both.

My thoughts...

In this line "Your mind would turn to darkness too" I would write instead "Your mind turns to darkness too"
As I read the poem I understood the that the turning had already occurred.

Last line "And to love you for having both"....both what? I'm confused here.

I hope you take these comments in the spirit in which they were intended as I plainly saw a fellow romantic in your writing.

Reading this a second time a second chance come to path the light that's missing in this world of darkness and distress My friends have moved on and left me here to throw out my thoughts and fill others minds with God felt knowledge That I love to share from time to time with the love of God on my side I have no where to hide the bright light he left in the sky to shine his blessings upon us all I grabs at it all trying to take in all in to begin my life each morning once again. Love the light the blessing from God.

This poem would light up any room with its soul. Heavy Soul. Loved its words and meanings.
