The Flame The Agony of Life

Is it a good thing
To let ones emotions
Show clearly in poetry
Sharing a hidden life within


Have you ever looked closely
To candlelight's flame
The flame dancing in delight
Making such bright light


I'm watching the flame of the candle
Flickering high with a shadow behind
And see the beauty of a black stem
With the glowing splendor of candlelight


Life burns like a candle
Thats how quickly times passes by
Minutes turn quickly to hours
And months into years then and poof


We're dead and we simply disappear
Leaving just memories behind
And family to shed a few tears
Do they cry because they miss me


Maybe light a candle for me
Think of me and frown
Wishing I wasn't gone
And say my name once in a while


Has my life wasted away
Like a burning candle in the wind
Has my life been spend
In the beauty and the life of the light


Have you ever looked
Have you ever seen
Look at The black stem that burned
Burning in my soul, desperately


Flame slowly burning up the wax
Eating it away instantly
Oh the pain of fire we bare
My soul burning in agony and despair
