She stood there looking at him
Startled by his question
Wondering if he was joking
His frightened manners spoke otherwise
As he sat in a corner
Hiding his face between his knees
She wondered if she did something
To frighten him so
Should she have knocked first?
She had never knocked before
Darkness, from his pocket, whispered
“Tell her to leave. Now.”
With a mumble and a fumble
The boy uttered, “Go.”
With his finger pointing towards the door
His face still planted between his knees
She became still, more puzzled
She wanted to laugh
When his words had no effect
He repeated them
Firmly and bolder this time
“Go away,” he said
Her cheer disappeared
She looked at him closely and realised
He had meant what he had said
Poor Sunshine, she didn’t mean any harm.

“She had never knocked before” this line made me think about light never knocking at all. Made me chuckle because it never really does, it just shines in places that it can reach!
