CANDLELIGHT
The candle flickers
Brightly shining
So sweetly bitter
As I watch it melting

It glows against the sadness
Of the rivers of the Night
Such an ethereal gentleness
Such a passing delight

I felt the throbbing of my heart
As its tears flowed away
Soon shall its tenderness depart
I plead it not, I pray

But the light began to die
The darkness gaining like a thief
Against the wishes of my mind
Against the echoes of my grief

I watch the candle flickering
Waving brightly at my pain
Perhaps, it saw the comfort it brings
Perhaps, it will smile again...
