Candle

Like in every crowded party,
With the shuffling of the feet
People dance to the same song
But are lost in their own beat

For once, look at me
I'm an open book, I can't lie
And if you are so intelligent
You should know what's behind a "goodbye"

Rainfall on the sidewalk
Like puzzle pieces in place
I can't tell the difference between
The water and tears on my face

Now lower your defenses
I am ready to lower mine
This is not war, though its not love
I remind myself from time to time

Oh, the light from a thousand bulbs
Can't brighten up this pain
One smile, one glance is like a flickering candle
That can brighten up my day again.

A.N. This was a very difficult as well as emotional piece for me. I am aware of the fact that you won't understand it as it is heavy with symbolism from my life but it was necessary for me to write it out and get it out.
Love,sai
