Hidden
Stifled by poverty
You are
But I see you
So I lower the drawbridge
Creak

Flicker
Your light shines
Hope burns brightly
Within your eyes
When perchance
Our eyes meet
Hope

NO NO NO
Poverty snatches you back
Your light dims
Your flame
Snuffed

Weeping
I raise the drawbridge
For it is night
And you are lost
Once more
Hidden
