Light The Candle Poem by Alyssa Ray

Light The Candle



It's dark
As I stand outside my house,
Once filled with life
I can see that christmas
When the the tree lit the whole house
When the presents were neatly placed
And here I am
Running to see what I got
Then, It turns to darkness again
I am standing there
Cold, Shivering, Afraid
I stare even further into the darkness
I see the fight that had just occured
I was screaming at my mother
For laying her hands on me;
Black tears running down my face
She points towards the door
I shake my head
Yet, I'm excepting it
Why?
Tell her no
Or go somehwere else
I exit the house
I'm leaving
I walk down the driveway
Into the snow and bitter ice
I turn back around and stare at the dark again
Turn on a light
Light a candle
I need to know someone's there
I need someone's warmth
I need to tell them what I just experienced
Please
Light a candle
Turn on the light
But no
They can't hear me
They don't know I'm back
I deny going home
So I turn
And walk down the driveway
Returning to the dark night
A feel the tears roll down my face
Please
Light the candle
Turn on a light
I need to feel some reassurance
But goodbye
To that life

I wake up
That was all a dream
It was scary
It couldn't of been real;
It wasn't
I sigh
And feel the warmth still by my side
As I am inside
Under my blankets
My mother hasn't laid a finger on me
I am safe
Good night
Turn on a light
Light a candle
And tell me I'll be okay.
