Next time you light a candle
Look closely in its flame.
You'll catch a glimpse of who you seek
Though they may not look the same.
And if the flame does flicker
You must follow where they go.
So, you can reunite with them
When you stare back in the glow.
Your mind will tell a story
That you and your flame do share
Though the ending may be different
It depends how long you stare
When your satisfied it's finished
And it has all turned out just right
Just gently blow out the candle
And kiss your flame goodnight.

Situations you’re not understanding,
Reasons that can't be explained.
Feelings of hurt and rejection,
Drown you, like a downpour of rain.
Missing the taste of your lips,
And hearing the beat of your heart.
Doubting that there was good reason,
For pulling us so far apart.
I know that you tried to make contact,
But ignoring your call was my choice.
Although, I am longing to see you
Right now, I just can't hear your voice.
It seems fairly simple to phone you,
But the blood in the wound is still moist.
Someday,  just a scar will remain,
But right now, I just can't hear your voice.
