Good Light

	I had an inkling this was going to end in tears
	All the drinking - it just confirmed my fears
	I remember thinking
	“God, I hope someday you’ll see me
	Even briefly
	In a good light”
	So I saw it coming
	But a month turned into twelve
	Before I thought of running
	Crying, “Darling, save yourself!”
	But I did nothing
	Hoping that you’d see me
	Even briefly
	In a good light
	Oh, I’ll admit a moment’s doubt
	When the candle flickered out
	Yeah, but wait another year
	Seemed such a pale idea
	And darling, it’s dark in here
	God, I hope someday you’ll see me
	Even briefly
	In a good light
	In a good light
