Flickering Candle

by Kayla   Jun 30, 2007


This pretty little girl is now alone,
Her fragile heart now made of stone.
He walked away from forever,
Her heart beats no more.

She has screamed a million times,
And even cried a thousand tears,
Just because she loves him so dearly,
And only wants to hold him near.

He ripped her heart out though,
Sucked out her very soul.
Just because he isn't sure,
She is truly the "one".

She can no longer laugh,
All of her smiles are fake.
She hides behind a pretty mask,
Trying to hide the building pain.
She forces herself to smile,
Claiming to be alright.

Nothing is alright though,
Not at all...
She lost all the strength to fight,
What's the point in life?

She sits alone,
In a cold, empty room.
Watching a candle flicker,
So close to going out...
The light goes out,
The girl gives up.

    That was really good. I loved the last 2 lines.
    "The light goes out
    The girl gives up"
    I dont know why... it just ended the poem very nicely. Though, I was confused on whether you had a rhyme scheme or not. But wonderfully penned none-the-less
