The Candle

A piece of me
I can feel but cannot see
Lingers
Floats around
Looking for you

A candle flickers away
There's so much it wants to say
Yet all it does it shine and obey
The words melt with the wax
And give way

A piece of you
Wanders in and out
Constantly
Giving me a shout
I cannot hear
What is this really about?

The candle still stands
Eternal glittering strands
Weighed down by all it
s held in
Words on tip
Yet deep within

You and me
Will glide and be
Graze and brawl
Occasionally

This candle is our light
Will fight and flight
A piece of me
A piece of you
They fall
They melt
Together they felt
