Candle in the Night

• Artist: Khristallyn
• Description: I honestly have no clue where this poem came from and what it means. It's possible that it was something that I repressed from a darker time, but now in my life it is simply an anachronism. If you figure out what it means, please let me know.

They told me it was easy
The road home was familiar
But I fear I’ve lost my way
And the flickering streetlight won’t be enough
Operator, stop the ride
I can still walk by myself
To the warm embrace that beckons
The prodigal son was only a dream
Avoiding the truth is too easy
So you’ll overlook these faults and light a candle
And if I’m smart I’ll leave this place
A storm is brewing in the distance
Accept my apology if I make it in time
I love you
Goodnight.

Seems to me like it means you have a problem, but you want to sort it out on your own, no help needed. Would you mind checking out some of my stuff too? =]

Ja, but that doesn't help much whenever the author doesn't know what she meant by it ^^;;
I'll figure it out eventually.

Only the author can ever truly know what a poem means, because it can be interpreted so differently by each person.
