CANDLE FLAMES

Tell me not, who broken your heart,
Our future is the flame
That stands in-between,
night and day,
the row of pain another gave
golden, warm autumn leaves
are blowing down the streets
of darken dreams,
in our room are the candles of lost time,
where the past should have been left behind
but it keeps coming back
just to remind us,
that someone has come between is,
Oh, mournful cries that are left inside
Deep within our souls
A pain we hadn’t let go of,
The flame of a wild fire
That hasn’t been extinguished
The cuts are always near us
Marking away at our heart
Next to are window
Are the candles that was once lit,
They are now melted and bent
Because nothing has changed
The past remains;
Bring so much rain our way,
I don’t want to look back
at those sadden eyes;
they cut me deeper then you know
this old pain is getting out of control,
I can no longer take no more
I must let you walk out the door,
This saddens me,
But we know it is for the best
When I must look back
I recall the pain of those days
When I see the one that came between
You and me on that autumn day,
I told myself never again
I will let you come back in,
I lit my candle and let it burn
I watched the old flam danced around
Over and over
until the pain lifted from me,
I don’t want to turn back
So, I kept walking ahead
I know we must weep over what we made
In our own web of the bed;
Oh, how that old candle burn
The darkness has taken the best of us
And left our hearts wounded,
Now, I pray that better days
To come our way;
To let the wild flames,
burn even in the rain,
Oh, your love I honored more
That’s why I let you walk out the door.
