Flickering Flame

My light is slowly fading
I cannot keep a hold
I'm far to weak and sorrowful to stay alight I'm told
I'm drifting into darkness
The shadows know my fears
They pull me close and hold me, they care not for cries or tears
My head feels strange and heavy
I'm neither live nor dead
Just lost within this shaded world that on my soul is fed
If I cannot escape this
Or if I've slipped to deep
Remember me to those I love and there my memory keep.
