Candle


The world is dark,
dark as night,
in her hand a candle, 
a match for which to light.
If she strikes it,
they will come,
howling, screaming, clawing.
But, if she doesn't,
lost could be their souls.

"Give me strength,
give me armor,
my hand is poised in ready.
When fear is threatening,
I turn to you,
you who will protect me."

Death

I want to meet him. Death.  The one who has taken  everything from me to keep.  We must be similar if we  love all of the same things.
