bound

a candle burning next to me
a pure but brilliant flame 
burning light of pure delight
mesmorized, surrounding night
staring, glaring, staring
with everything I've learned
the flame the candle's bearing
but the beauty's bound to burn
gazing to the light so bright
another night is lit by fire
another night of tempting fate
temptation is fueled by desire
waiting waiting waiting
hesitating in the dark of night
don't know what the future holds
remember back the past is told
within reach a shining light 
but the beauty's bound to scold
