Why didn’t they notice? The candle within broke, Without its warmth… darkness crawls. Embers line the path— A path carved of fear. When did we come to know? That holding the burdens of others, Meant carrying their pain after. Weaving their weight onto ourself. Assuring they’ll pass… yet they stayed. Where did this path lead? Down a road of sorrow, Where scars announce themselves. Turning pain into blood… dread into tears. ”You” chose to hide, rather than face the fear. What was there to gain? This path began with wounds, Unknown to us, it’s lined with thorns. With every step… it cuts deeper. Do “You” still hoped for a bouquet? Who knew, through it all? That those smiles hid the truth— That my world made of thorns. A war waged within… the silence noise. The war we all see… but ignore. How did we become this? We were tormented from the start, Then our thoughts began to revolt— At a time we couldn’t understand. “To see the end before the start.”

When The Candle Broke
Why didn’t they notice? The candle within broke, Without its warmth… darkness crawls. Embers line the path— A path carved of fear. When did we come to know? That holding the burdens of others, Meant carrying their pain after. Weaving their weight onto ourself. Assuring they’ll pass… yet they stayed. Where did this path lead? Down a road of sorrow, Where scars announce themselves. Turning pain into blood… dread into tears. ”You” chose to hide, rather than face the fear. What was there to gain? This path began with wounds, Unknown to us, it’s lined with thorns. With every step… it cuts deeper. Do “You” still hoped for a bouquet? Who knew, through it all? That those smiles hid the truth— That my world made of thorns. A war waged within… the silence noise. The war we all see… but ignore. How did we become this? We were tormented from the start, Then our thoughts began to revolt— At a time we couldn’t understand. “To see the end before the start.”
