Candle Light

I light the candles
To warm my heart
I light the candles
To search for my soul

 

In that flickering light
I saw your face
Not as a man
But as a mean animal.

 

In that flickering light
A filthy human comes alive
Selling me out
To trade for affection

 

The candle light can’t warm my heart
For you had, betraying my trust
The candle light can’t find my soul
For you had–swallow it whole!

 

I blow out the candles
I turn off the light
For only in darkness
That I can’t see your lowest being!

    Wow, that is very deep Icy, poignant and painful yet beautifully expressed.
