I love music.. what can I say?

Besides.. it's better than the previous one? Wouldn't you say?

“When you're walking in the dead of night
When your soul is churning
When your hope seems out of sight
Keep the candle burning”

I can’t get the words out of my head. It’s a catchy song, after all. Yes, it catches and rips at that place in my chest where my candle once burned so bright, and the mutilated throne of my heart sits in ruins. I don’t know if any amount of healing can bring it back to its once glorious glow.

But I do know this: one can never know how well the fire will burn again unless they light it and brave the fires. A true fire will never leave you anything but warm. And oh how I wish to be warm right now, held close to your warm body. Except, you never will, just as these words will never reach you. But damn, I need to be held. My own arms are getting so tired from holding me up all the time.

And sure, life is hell, but that means you have to burn brighter than all the rest of the fools and not peter out into cold ashes. Remember, everyone is insane, but not everyone can outlive sanity. So please excuse me for a moment while I puke till my heart comes up because it's no use to me anyway, and I need something to burn. It’s my way of coping.

My ways don’t always work though. Sometimes I forget to bring my own lighter. But then, they say it’s not good to play with fire, and I agree. Fire is a serious thing, so only light one if you really mean it. If you’re not careful, you could lead some sorry ship astray. Don’t think it’s not your fault. If there is fire, others will see it and be affected, whether they are warmed or burnt is up to you.

“All it takes is one steady heart
In a world that's turning
Shine a light and pierce the dark
Keep the candle burning”

So I say to all of you: Keep the Candle Burning, and keep an eye on the flame.
