Poem: Magical light fairy

It was a very expensive lampshade. 
Embarrassing really. 

But it lit up the room as if it was a magical light fairy. 

I didn't want to share her light, 
I was very possessive about it, so I stopped inviting people over. 

But I was never lonely - because she was there. 

She whispered convincing stories to my ear at night, 
before I turned her off, to go to sleep. 
She tried convincing me not to turn her off for the whole night - it made her sad, she said.

There was something bruised about this relationship. 
But it's hard to define what it was exactly... 



Inspired by the words: expensive, lampshade, bruise, convincing.
