A Single Candle

by Fighter (Ariane L.)   Feb 5, 2006


Dwelling to the sadness of her words,
The songs melody drains my happiness.
I seem to fall into the old pattern,
Thinking about the past, memories.

She sings about her life.
About not being able to let go.
About being a pray for him.
About not being able to walk away.

On the verge of tears, deceived.
Everytime they walked away,
I pretended I didn't care.
I kept my head held high.

Everytime they passed away,
I pretended to be fine,
I pretended not to be affected.
I kept my head held high.

Everytime my heart broke,
Every ache I suffered,
I kept it to myself.
I pretended nothing was wrong.
I kept my head held high.

Months ago, my mask started to crack.
I started losing ground.
I lost sight of my hopes.
I lost sight of my friends.
I lost sight of love.

Months ago, I would've told you
That nothing seemed worth it.
Months ago, I would've told you
That I had nothing to live for,
When, deep down, I knew I did.

I have more than most dream of.
And yet, I couldn't see that.
I was slowly losing grip.

Thinking of the past memories,
I sink deeper in the songs melody.
Dwelling on the pain of the past.

Yet, I know that nothing can take away
What I've finally succeeded in accomplishing.
No one can take it all away from me.
Nothing can take the happiness away.

Sorrow fills me, yet I have not lost.
All I need to do is change the song.
All I need to do is write it away.
Because I know that I am ok.
Because happiness is so strong.
All it takes is a single candle
To fight away the darkness.
Only one candle...

*def not my best... it just doesn't seem to flow.
