I want to be your candle light
I won't to show you what you can't envision
A life where no leaves fall
Where no flowers wilt away and die

As I get down on my knees
And I plea

You are more than a line to a poem that your role is much bigger
You must see that every line of this poem means something
Missing just one, would make it lose all meaning
That every single line here  is worth reading

Can't you see here that I am trying to reason with you
That you can't assume that the sky will always be blue
But many, many variations, sequences, differences of colors
So many of our choices, consequences,
and feelings come from our senses

I am at a lost of what to say
Please give me something, some kind of sign
Because I want to guide you, help you, and inspire you
Show you something new

Give you the wings to explore your horizons
All the wonderful things that do exist

But if you insist
I will fight this enemy with a strong fist

Now I hope that you will believe me
That I have now fixed all that was broken
With these words here that I've spoken

Unlocked your prison
And set you off freely
