Shall I leave the light behind?
It’s illuminating the hallway
Flickering
Incandescent
Ravishing
So seductive, I rely on its flame
It threatens to go out if I leave
Threatens to ignite if I stay
My hand cannot clench its own
No longer efficacious
It cannot fill the void presented
And still the light shines

A metaphor that may be seen different ways. Nicely written
