and with the brightness of your candle
my defenses melt away
and what can I do
but try build up more bricks
stacking, stacking, stacking
but you knock them back down
only to build them around us both
secluded and cocooned in layers
layers of love and adoration
a filter through the bad days
you, my candle
my light in my darkness
the light at the end of the musty tunnel
the ground smoothed by the great and powerful people
you, my candle
the doctor to my riversong
the love to my life
