I
light
a
candle so when I
extend my fragile arms,
I can judge the distance
from you to me, on the
nights you leave. I light
a candle so when you s-
hut out the light, and y-
ou've closed your eyes, I
know you no longer hear
the the trembling of my
heart in its own strange
cacophony. I light a can-
dle so I know that if you
ever decide to find your
way home, like a lighth-
ouse to a lost sailor in t-
he sea, you'll find your
path home to me...
