The Candle Light
April 28, 2010
They burn out quick
Just as quick as they light
Light up your world
With joyful insight
Of how to run
Run your life down
Until nothing is left-
All that is left is dried-out wax
And with that wax
You attempt to crawl towards a faint crack in the wall
A light shines through that you use to find your way
Through the dark night
But that light you created,
It's a false comfort,
Something wrong
Something fake*
