I am a candle

I am a candle 

which you have tried 

with all your might
to stamp right out, 

and sliced my throat 

for the thousandth time
but one bright night 

she'll light me up 

and I will shine just as bright!



In a vicious battle 

of dark and right, 

life won today, 

took all that's mine

it smothered me; 

it trampled me up 

-- left me for trash

ripped out my heart, 

it's not a wound, 

but a blazing gash

but I am a candle 

and I will shine 

just as bright!
