Night Light

"Night light"

It's true what they say, you know,
                                                  about misery loving company.
Maybe that's why you kept me,
                                                  holding on for so long.
                                                               Every night I closed my eyes, thinking,
                                 there's a martyr sleeping next to me.
Draining every ounce of me,
                                                     until there was nothing left.
                                                                 I wasn't nothing.
                                                                                            I left.

    This is a really great poem. The feelings associated are so clear and real. Loved the way you ended it, as well.
