The Candle and the Void


Why is it i cannot stop thinking about you
lost and lonely when i dream, i see only visions of you
and from my dreams there is a void, buried deep beneath
the void it grows till all consuming, drowning my soul
the darkness of its painful being, tearing at my heart
shattered remnents of what once was filled with light of love
crawling towards a distant candle, you are my only hope
for every shadow there is a light, you have created both
the shadow grows the candle flickers, which will cease to be
i am a slave to that which consumes me, drowning me whole
the candle always thirsty for wax, the shadow everlasting
a void, i'm falling, nothing can help me, lost i am in darkness
the candle is lost scattered by wind, distant it will be always
and when the wind blows into my face, bringing the scent of her hair
the void will stop growing for once in my life, how long will it not thrive
for always this darkness will breathe life inside me, lasting forevermore
in my dreams surrounded by darkness, there will always be that light
a little thing my heart can hold onto, grasping its shattered self
the things you have given me, shadow and candle, will be in my dreams forever
i live for the day that your light consumes me, together till time is no longer.
