Trick Candle Flame
You turned me into a trick candle flame,
when it flickered you lit a spark;
Making me believe again was your aim;
When I needed it you gave me acclaim;
a soft glow in the midst of the stark;
You turned me into a trick candle flame;
Embracing everything that wasn’t tame
never leaving me alone in the dark;
Making me believe again was your aim;
Helped me let go of my twisted mind game,
rewiring me to ignore every remark;
You turned me into a trick candle flame;
Finding the fire I needed to reclaim,
paving the path for me to embark;
Making me believe again was your aim;
In doubt you reminded me of my name,
believed in my enigmatic trademark;
You turned me into a trick candle flame,
making me believe again was your aim.
