"the Candle Like My Heart"
The candle on my table flickers like my heart...
It shines glowing circles on my ceilings warmest part..
The scent of it surrounds the room with an inviting smile..
It grabs you in and warms your soul for a while..
The longer it burns the softer it becomes...
It can be molded in your fingers and then fall to crumbs..
It slowly burns out as the night draws to an end..
Only to be lit again as a new day begins...
You will never look at a candle the same again I'm sure...
Just come in my room quietly and close the door..
