Candle Flame Vs Flick Of Pain

When the darkness creeps

And you’re all asleep

When it twists And turns

Through silent halls.

And hums a song of sirens calls.

When the darkness creeps

And I can’t sleep

Can I keep a light in mind ?

The creaking floorboards can be so unkind.

It whisper-

pulls

And sees dark truths.

When the darkness creeps

And quietly surrounds me.

I am not sure I can keep a light of hope within me.

A candle flame Vs flick of pain.

I can’t decide .

When the darkness creeps

And I bow on knee

That's when I know

There’s know one to stop.

When the darkness creeps

And everyone sleeps

Watch out for the alone Unseen.

When the darkness creeps

Dark thoughts set free.

But woe betide

Those who hurt me.

Forever beneath the darkened flame be.

When darkness creeps and floorboards creak.
