The Candy Child

Written by Tomaz Goh
Feeding through the aperture
Numbers that have actually lost count
Like the raindrops that fall from the sky

Soaking in heavy shoes and socks
I felt my heart was planted down below
Like a curtain of blind that separates
The light and candle from a distance end

She wished that she can be more vocal
but was determined by her fragile torso
Syringe of depressed she's injected with
The solvent melts the soul more than the shell

Strand of thoughts starts falling off
While caching the somber memories concurrently
When the skin rub the surface of the bone
She know it will be December soon

Falling as light as winter snow
But hits me merciless like a stone throw
She weeps when the spring delay
My heart stoned deep when the rain falls

Seeking shelter under angel's wings
Growing strong from the warmth within
Shower and braving the weather solitarily
grasping the melting candy in her hand with faith
