Candlelight and darkness
are the measure of my life
and so they offer no comfort
as I cry into the night.
The bitterness within me
burns an acid hole
and I, falling in,
find myself alone.
Fear is my watchdog
guardian of my pain,
I gather it as a cloak around me
and face the emptiness.
My heart knows so little
and yet, too much it seems.
I'm balanced on a precipice
just this side of sane.
The words in my mind are frozen
as my tongue spews forth it's hate.
For a moment I wonder why,
then it is over, and I know why.
Fear is a powerful guardian,
though few ever see its face.
It comes at you as anger,
and drives you away in pain.
Now I am its prisoner,
staring into the night
alone in the darkness,
crying by candlelight.
