With a flickering candle, <br />she walks the streets alone <br />looking for her lover <br />who failed to come home. <br />Is he in the arms of someone new? <br />Has he forsaken her <br />only time will tell? <br />Until then she walks alone <br />with a flickering candle as a friend. <br />Each night you will see her <br />calling out his name <br />as the shadows fall, <br />never receiving a reply <br />to her pleading call. <br /> <br />28 July 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-flickering-candle/
