Candlelight

Sun, 07/27/2014 - 17:46 -- asianme

 

You awoke to something new
Needless to say, it was not due
This place contains just a few
You really do not have a clue
 
Left and right, you begin to realize
This place is not a sight to see
Company is what you begin to fantasize
Silence, you received, until you flee
 
Desperately, you cry for help
It echoes in the shadows
Silently you began to whelp
You're afraid to know what follows
 
A gleam of light catches the eye
Without thought you ran, crying
The gleam of light started to die
Without blinking, you saw it fleeing
 
You fell to the depths of despair
As you fail to see why you are here
You sought for someone's care
But you only see dreams and fear
 
Sought not what you are after
Look for the candlelight that glows
The light in the dark hereafter
The way to your dreams shall follow
 
Candlelight lit in the dark
Chase it and it will leave a mark
Candlelight grows weaker with every hark
Chase it and stalk it like a stark
