Burned Candle
Rania Hosny Abdel Fattah Hassan 1969 (Alexandria)
•Can you see, what you'd done by your own hand
•Not only burned off this candle that is lighting your life's way..
•& killed without pity this spirit that is fighting for you only
•But turned off my ray of hope what is reviving my everyday..
•& filled all my life with pain what is depriving me to not feel lonely.
•Your plan is to drive me insane & write my end
• You don't earn my trust as you didn't leave me in peace but in big mess..
•& I will never ever be just as you want me to be, a piece in your chess..
•Set me free, may be the candle you burned before, someone is searching for it, to light again to feel its warmth & to comprehend..
