The Candle...
by: Rock Ee

My sorrow...
    Oh my sorrow knows no bounds.
    The tears that I cry;
    The time I spend alone.
These hours crawl by like centuries.
I watch the night pass on...

And this darkness...
    Ah, this darkness HAS no end.
    The stars are just a distant scream.
    The moon is in eclipse.
As your memory fades into the mist,
I cry out desperately...

My love cuts deep and stretches wide;
Empties me and fills a sea.
I kneel weeping in her crimson shoals.

Our dreams,
    Our Passion,
        Burn  hot and bright;
    Burn very fast like fireworks...
    Purge the velvet darkness
    with a brilliant flash of color,
    and spent, streak smoking downward;
    Crash hissing into the cold black sea...

The charred remains rise to the surface;
glisten darkly in the moonlight;
Disappear wihout a trace...

...And should they wash upon your shore,
Would you look?
Know that this was us one time?
    Would you even care?
I feel you,
    feel you turn and walk away.

...And your skin...
    Oh your skin is soft and cool as silk.
    Your touch; It is electric,
    leaves a trail of fire on my soul.
And though, we'll be apart for evermore,
    Still I wait for you.
    And light this candle in your name...
