[the Candle Weeps] Poem by Empath In flames

In loneliness,
I moan for you.
To this single flame,
I embellish my tears
Of a moment lost...
Drowned in time....

I dive within,
The lake of no tomorrow.
To find myself trapped,
In yesterdays silk...
I’ve tried...

To many times,
To fight departure,
Today I free myself...
I become the wave...

As I stare outside,
My watery coffin,
The sunlight blinds my eyes.
A shadowed reflection,
Becomes of me...
I see...


As life’s scene,
Drifts and fades away...
I remember the single flame,
That I once knew.

~She wept for me,
As I did too...~
