i laid my eyes in the light
my irises burned as bright
shadows dance and swayed
the air still as it played
then slowly it turned to red
as tears in my eyes bled
down, it all started to blur
but the fire never seemed fainter
i'm a rose burning in the candle light
petals glowing so bright
scarlet as the flame devouring me
turning into browned ashes slowly...

i laid my eyes in the light
my irises burned as bright
shadows dance and swayed
the air still as it played
then slowly it turned to red
as tears in my eyes bled
down, it all started to blur
but the fire never seemed fainter
i'm a rose burning in the candle light
petals glowing so bright
scarlet as the flame devouring me
turning into browned ashes slowly...
i wrote this on the night we were in front of the altar, praying, and all i felt was guilt coz i just did something terrible to my parents but they never found it out...
