and brings me back to life
pale face and blonde hair
empty eyes
and an empty soul
like the inside of a torn rose
it reminds me of you
so gentle and unnerving
floating gracefully
through our room
in your white nightgown
only when I drift asleep
do I realize it's you all along
and it's my job to mend you
so I'll relight the candle
in your heart
I want you to feel
a burning in your soul again
it will hurt at first
to smile when you haven't
for so long
but I won't let the candle burn out this time
I promise
