Candle

The candle is lit, the ice is still cold.

The flame goes out, because it has nothing to hold.


The fire dims, the lights go out.

It is dark, I want to shout.


Go away,

You have nothing to say.


Nothing good,

Just a bad mood.


The candle lights, it fades.

Over me it now cascades.


The candle spills.

Knocks over the pills.


My secret is shown, I am done.

Now I am one.


The darkness comes and engulfs me.

Now I can see.


I wish to go to heaven.

Ever since before I was seven.


I am taken to a place.

Where I have no space.


I need to move around,

I am just hell bound.


Then I see a light.

It is just in sight.


I follow it.

Then I sit.


I find a god, smiling.

I find his eyes sparkling.


This is where I belong.

So long.


The candle is lit, the ice is still cold.

The flame goes out, because it has nothing to hold.
