And by this flickering candle.
I imagine you.
Your soft lips resting against the black satin sheets.
An angel.
I see you.
Even in the darkest of the dark bitter corners of my soul
You emerge.
It takes every fiber in my being to stop myself
to stop the longing for me to draw you closer to my heart
But, you are so peaceful.
And how could I disturb such a gentle rest?
So,
For now I guess I'll just have to ignite these old candles
that continue to flicker more and more as the days go on
But, I will light them
Every day
Until, instead, I have you.
