My Candle, My Match

The flame flickers and dies

Consumed in the darkness the candle lies

I stare through the cold

Happy memories have begun to mold

All hope is lost in the flame's death

It sputtered and sighed with its last breath

It used to dance before my eyes

Clouding my mind, blocking the lies

Burning through my mind they came

And just as quickly was the death of the flame

I turn my head to search for comfort

All I see is what makes me hurt

They sent the hounds who tore my flesh

Because with me the world doesn't seem to mesh

They shot down every thought

And all the hope it brought

I was different and pure

They knew but one cure

People care about everything

But their everything is nothing

What's the point of this burden

Will no one thake the time to listen

The candle went out already

I still hold the match steady

Every second I endure hurts you

Time to give pain to the untrue

Test me at your will

I will carry my match still

And if I find a candle to light

Your eyes will burn cuz it shines so bright
