My Candle Poem by courtney metcalf

It is still unclear to me how this world spins when you are no longer in it
Everything fell to pieces
Not sure how it can be remended
But you were the glue that held it all together
I should have paid more attention, so I'd know how to make it all better
Everyone says that I remind them of you
It's a never-ending goal I'll try to persue
But I am no where near as persistant
Sometimes I hear your voice but I'm too scared to listen
Because filling your shoes is harxer than they know
You left an impact on me that continues to grow
So I can shove your voice awayas much as I want
But my memories will haunt me til there's no where to run
My deepest fears are my strongest ambitions
I cannot fail because you gave me this mission
I'm afraid to be more than the no one i feel
But you told me I was someone until I finally became real
You lit a flame within me and told me to never let it vo out
From one candle to another, I was supposed to light the new route
You were a light that I thought would never dwindle
So when you went out, I didn't know how to rekindle
The light of my world went out one night
Now I have to find my own so that I can regain sight
