Flickering Candle

Author: Angel

I lie awake at night
Tossing in my bed
It's really driving me crazy
I can't get it out of my head.
The flame that once burned inside me
Is starting to fade and flicker
Whatever is going on
To make my candle burn out quicker?
Something's snapped inside
Something's disappeared
I feel like I'm always sad
My face is always teared.
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I feel so sad?
I'm finally starting to lose it
I think I'm going mad.
I'm starting to feel negative
About every little thing
I'm starting to get parannoid
About why the phone doesn't ring.
I feel myself get weaker
I feel myself get tired
I think it's finally happened
I think my flame's expired.
