I am black
as the night sky
ink clouds
my withering heart

I was once hopeful
as a young school girl
but she died
along with the rest of me

I am a used candle
flames gone out
smoke
filling the air

Could you be my match
and relight my fire
clear away
the fog

Could you be the light
at the end of the tunnel
to drag me
out of darkness

Could you reignite
my passion
that keeps me going
day after day

I could
You could
We could
