Candle
What if I held my heart here in my hand?
Would you perhaps unlock your bolted door?
Or would it merely crumble into sand
And slip between my fingers to the floor?
What if I showed my earnest love to you?
What if it thawed the frost that rims your soul,
To decorate your world like morning dew
And sparkle in the sun to make you whole?
What if I was the candle in your night
That found you in the darkened woods alone,
To guide you through the terrors with my light,
And bring your wayward footsteps safely home?
