The Candle

 The Candle 

By Mr Knight

As the night rolls in all that's on my mind is turning out the candle

She gave me no choice and it burns at my soul

The flickering light of Hope has been extinguished

For the darkness of reality she wasn't real she wasn't illusion

Like a mirage in the desert the person I thought it was doesn't exist

Why must I always feel the slings and arrows of Love's disappointments

My Hope Springs Eternal only to be dashed one more time

What is the point of living when it's just one more disappointment after another

I try again only for that candle to be extinguished

The hope is the candle and every time it's snuffed out

That understanding I want someone to see me through my masks

But when I try to remove them they Coil In Fear

They reach for the candle and and extinguish the flame

To run away in the dark never to return

My sorrow is Everlasting my soul to walk alone

My tears are mine alone with no one to share

This is my existence this is my loneliness this is my end

The candlelight is extinguished

The whiskey bottle sits on the ledge empty and cracked

It's liquor trying to heal my soul and the disappointment

Your heartbreak brings
