Little Candle

Little Candle
Burn so bright
Holding back
The starry night

But if I were
To blow you out
Would I have cause
To scream and shout?

For the night is safe
And withholds the light
Of painful memories
Of Malice and Spite

But all too soon
The night starts to fade
Caused by the coming
Of the new day

And all of my angers
Fears and despairs
Are exposed again
By the sun's cruel rays

So Little Candle
Burning so bright
Should I destroy you?
Would that be right?

With one little puff
You would be away
My dark side hidden
Until the next day

But your light that flickers
Gives me solace tonight
Withholds all the pains
That give me reason to fight

So while I battle
Against memories and fears
I'll allow you to burn
To dry up my tears.
