Fade Away
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
A candle flame
Was my love
For you my dear
From above
Flickering
In the breeze
I'm dying now
(Please don't sneeze!)
So pass me on
With a wish
To another of those
Candle sticks
Keep me alive
And keep me sane
So we may alight
Once again
I'll fade away
Just like you said
I'll disappear
So you may tread
Free from my grasp
And from my love
I tried to give
Heaven's above
But you refused my gift
And I must pay
So just let me
Fade away
