Trick Candle Flame

You turned me into  a trick candle flame,
when it flickered you lit a spark; 
Making me believe again was your aim; 

When I  needed it you gave me acclaim; 
a soft glow in the midst of the stark; 
You turned me into a trick candle flame;

Embracing everything that wasn’t tame 
never leaving me alone in the dark; 
Making me believe again was your aim; 

Helped me let go of my twisted mind game, 
rewiring me to ignore every remark;
You turned me into a trick candle flame;

Finding the fire I needed to reclaim, 
paving the path for me to embark;
Making me believe again was your aim; 

In doubt you reminded me of my name, 
believed in my enigmatic trademark;
You turned me into a trick candle flame,
making me believe again was your aim.
