Candles
I'm lighting candles
To the sound of their laughter
Candles
To their voice on the phone
I'm writing poems
To their silence after
Poems
So I won't feel alone
I'm reading stories
To their real-life living
Stories
Whilst they do what they should
Crying
To the sound of laughter
Crying
Will I ever be understood?
To the sound of their laughter

Author's Note
These days I feel like the world is catching up to me again - it's trying to beat me and tear me down again so I'll finally break. The world just seems so much more... complicated when you look around but see nobody looking at you. My role seems to be just to stand there and clap my hands to relationships that happen left and right from me. These times I value my friends over everything. I really do. I just hope some day there will be a change for me as well...
