Candles' Lullaby

Never do I smile or speak,
with malice as my motive

And I lay bare with honesty,
my words not sugar coated

I curse the force that draws some close,
a moth unto a candle

Unable to control the flame
Still dancing on the mantle

The flame with love gives light and warmth,
a passion burning strong

Ensuring her unending shame,
and death is her last song
