Candle in the dark

It's hard to see you
In such a withered state  
 
Your brightness soared
Blinding our eyes
To the point of hurt
 
I'll  gladly take your  place  
You were my one and only saving grace  
 
We burned the night  
And bathed in the ashes
In the morning sun's light
 
Now madness reigns  
Dissolving lines between crazy and sane
 
I know you're still there
Lost in the wilderness  
Wondering if anyone cares
 
But I'll always be here  
Holding a candle to draw you near
 
I'll shade you from the driving rain
That for so long
Has been causing you this debilitating depressing pain
