A Lonely Candle

A more recent poem of mine.

Curled into a fetal position on the fourth floor;

I'm in my chamber with a locked door

There is only one light in the entire room;

A candle burnt halfway to its dark doom

 

I hear footsteps on the cobblestones in the hallway;

Then there is the loud voices I've heard all day

Next the door knob begins to rattle so intense;

My fear filling the room is making the air dense

 

Hair falling over the front of my pale face;

I dig nails into my velvet dresses' lovely lace

Mind wanting to stay in this empty place;

Screaming and trembling I knock over a book case

 

A dagger lands right before my blue-gray eyes;

Candlelight flashing directly where it lies

I then notice your picture on the stone wall before me;

Your ice blue eyes are all I can see

 

My heart jumps and my fear begins to rise;I

t remembers your hurtful lastly, long lies

Knowing that it will always be yours it jumps for you;

No matter how hurtful were the thing you had to do

 

Pounding,pulsing,pondering pain;

My heart beats over again and again

It brings me to finally take the dagger at last;

Placing it above my heart beating so fast

 

I hear you crying and begging outside the door;

You begin pounding it more and more

I erase that miserable thought out of my mind;

If I continue to feel too bad I will be too kind...

 

You've blinded me by love for so long;

In the end it has made me surely strong

I release the silver blade from my hand;

Tears streaming down my face like grains of sand

 

My love for you is too strong to end it here;

No matter what you will always be my dear

When I started loving you I knew it would never end;

Even if you were to keep this trend

 

................................................................

 

You finally bust the door to bits and pieces now;

Running in you hug me and kiss me above my brow

You watch the candle finally burn out forever;

Then you look at me and hug me tighter than ever

 

I was not the candle tonight, but it was ever so close......
