My Life Is Not a Candle
My life is not a candle
For you to watch glow
Watching the flame burn
Thinking you’ll always know
Flame forever burning
Flickering in the wind
Watch the wax melting
Waiting for it to end
Smoke streaming slowly
After you blow it out
Smell of burned emotions
Filling my head with doubt
Strike the match if you dare
For you to light again
But be careful what you wish for
It might burn you in the end
