Candle and Sword

Candle and Sword When you are no longer able to see You immediately search for me Always left in the same place Felt forgotten but I never forget your face Though for me there's just one time you care No matter the time lapse I'll always be there Your faithful companion, but only in the night In your darkest hour im your light Shining for you as I melt None of my pain is ever felt You burn me until the new day Put me out and up until needed to light your way If you be worthy enough to pull me from the stone The power I power i possess will be your own Though you must come with some skill For I'll just be your instrument to kill Serving your wishes whatever they may I Slay your demons if you wield gracefully No foe will ever you put you to rest There no sword above me, I'm the best Then what am I when the war is won A relic of battle when all is calm and done Casted aside left alone As if place back into the stone The candle and the sword I share their pain To simply be there for another and not complain Bring light to your dungeon or slay your enemy Used to bring you from hardship faithful and unwillingly

Wow. This is a humble piece, indeed. I loved it. I can relate to both the candle and the sword. I hope your book is selling well!
