My dear, my love, my only light

My dear, my love, my only light
his screams are those of a soul in decay
if only for you I could set things right
His figure forming a torcherous sight
contorted in agony over a letter which displays:
“my dear, my love, my only light”
A wife fallen ill, he avowed to fight
still, weeping silently did he pray
if only for you I could set things right
As children he was my sole delight
then he wed another, leaving hearts in disarray
my dear, my love, my only light
To prevent his anguish she stole away in the night
now a shuddering life in my arms lay
“if only for you I could set things right”
He is comforted, in my arms held tight
guilt suffocates, yet for him I will stay
my dear, my love, my only light
if only for you I could set things right

Interview
What is your main source of inspiration?
My main source of inspiration comes from my friends and family, as I usually base my works off of our shared experiences and interactions. I also take inspiration from the outside world, including nature, music, novels, and television.
What is your ideal writing environment?
My ideal writing environment is preferably in my room, listening to instrumental or new age music, as the calming and emotion-evoking qualities of these genres help me to convey my own thoughts and feelings in my writing.
What message do you hope to convey to the reader through your piece?
I hope I can convey my beliefs of the importance of helping others, and learning how best to care for others as well as making an effort to understand his or her emotions, as this can deepen relationships and improve lives.
