Plot: The "DIM LIGHT " is a love poem where the author unravels the history of a fading love,in a long night reminiscing the beautiful memories with her loved one & still stuck in between this unfavorable love.
She shares how much she tried to let go despite the bitterness & excruciating pain of her dream love withering....She's still indecisive cause in the last line.....she's struggling for answers, why she keeps finding herself choosing more of him.

Critique: The language is simple
Precise and full of images.
It would have been awesome if written in stanzas.
Trying few rhymes won't be bad next time it helps to beautiful poem.
