Tea Light

There was a tiny tea light somewhat hid and tucked away Was lost; To be forgotten in dark corners of my brain The other day you called me breathing into it new life A weak and dying flame now once again stood strong and bright Tried quelling it with reason; Doused with plenty rationale No matter what I threw at it would not leave or dispel Use thoughts as tools or weapons; They are thrown out by the mind Attempting to slice through the bonds to flame the heart did bind But no where in my cognition is something quite that tough In any way could kill that flame or from these bonds be cut This statement even would be true the weakest of its days But as I'm talking to you with each word you fan the flame Was living out a lie and yet was unbeknownst to me I thought my love for you could die if left and just let be However, now I know too well this lasting present truth My eyes saw you and ever since, I've been in love with you
