Candle

The light from the candle
flickers
in that haphazard sway
and reminds me of the sadness
in you eyes.
I want to hold
and comfort you
since that is all I can do.
The pain is yours
from memories new and old.
Maybe one day the anguish
will be gone, and
a smile will find your heart;
until then,
this candle flicker
is writing a poem for you.
