Candle But Not the Flame

She walks away easy And I feel the pain She laughs pretty And I am ugly man She dreams sweetly And I am the sleepless She hugs loosely And I do hard press She looks simple Just my eyes complicate She thinks only logic I open the emotional gates Her smile is cute I think her tooth is huge Her heart is soft And I think its rock She takes the blame And I feel the guilt She gives up the argue And I think I win I didn't ever know That I can never win Who gives up for you Who takes up the blame Who can laugh in pain She thinks not to gain For she thinks love is game She thinks she is vain But I see her a gem Its not just her name Candle but not the flame She is to brighten My entire darkened den.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
