Candle!
Life after death in the after life.
Here ever afters penned in epitaphs.
Scratched deep into ancient church rafters.
As a candle deprived of oxygen.
no longer burns.
A deleted issue of stifled love.
Love with which was trifled.
Brightness in love was once given.
Forgiveness for nothing.
Not been received.
The love has gone,
Gone to another soul.
Waving the lover fondly goodbye.
Tears are all wiped.
Face is bone dry.
Her love got stuck inside a sows ear.
Made a purse of love now lost
Maybe a curse.
Tears wasted for fear.
Her memories in tears will no longer drown.
Too expensive to replace.

Candle!
Life after death in the after life.
Here ever afters penned in epitaphs.
Scratched deep into ancient church rafters.
As a candle deprived of oxygen.
no longer burns.
A deleted issue of stifled love.
Love with which was trifled.
Brightness in love was once given.
Forgiveness for nothing.
Not been received.
The love has gone,
Gone to another soul.
Waving the lover fondly goodbye.
Tears are all wiped.
Face is bone dry.
Her love got stuck inside a sows ear.
Made a purse of love now lost
Maybe a curse.
Tears wasted for fear.
Her memories in tears will no longer drown.
Too expensive to replace.
