flickering candle flame
as unsteady as my heart
tell me what it is
that broke me
and my heart
Tell me how it
all happened
and where I go from here
flickering candle flame
stop the tears
that bleed
and mold the pieces
back together
flickering candle flame
why did it have to be?
tell me why
it hurts so bad
and hold me until
it hurts no more
kiss me with your
warm and welcoming touch
the touch I long for
flickering candle flame
go back it time
take back the pain
teach him
that isn't right
it isnt right
to think he'll get away
show him what he did
and make him realize
the severity of
his mistake
nake him see that what
he did is not ok
and even though
he'll get his licensce back
in a few short years,
I'll never get my only love
my best friend back
because he made a mistake
because he drank one too many
and thought he could drive
I'll never see that smile again
I'll never hear his voice
and I'll never be
in his arms again
all because,
flickering candle flame
he made a mistake...
one that cost my best friend
his life

I could see you holding the candle and weeping at the same time while I was reading this poem.  I honestly do not know what to say for you have just gone thru so much pain.  I just wish I was an angel so I could just fly there and take your pain away.  But I'm not.  I don't know if you're gonna read this reply for I've noticed that you haven't been answering your replies lately.  But as i've said in my previous replies, i'll always be hear for ya.  keep your head up Jess

I love how you compared your heart to a candle flame, it's a really good comparison   The whole poem is kind of sad, but I like how you set things up for the ending.  People who drink and drive are stupid.  Awesome poem!

My eyes are misty, I dunno about everyone else's here.   This is extremely sad, and it happens way too much.  I'll never understand why bad things happen to good people, it makes no sense.  Maybe, somehow, this person will learn from his horrible mistake.  I know that probably doesn't help you much.  Hang in there, I'm here.  Smile
